Use custom themes

Enables or disables the custom themes.

Type: Boolean

Default: Disabled

Custom themes can be placed in the Themes folder in the application folder (e.g. C:\Program Files\NETworkManager\Themes). The file name has the format <THEME>.<ACCENT>.xaml. For instructions on how to create custom themes, see the MahApp.Metro documentation.

note

Custom themes override the Accent and Theme settings.

Apply theme to PowerShell console

Apply the current application theme to the PowerShell console global profile(s).

Type: Boolean

Default: Disabled

If enabled, the PowerShell console global profile(s) are modified in the registry under Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console (HKCU:\Console). This adjusts the background of the console and some other settings so that the console window integrates better with the NETworkManager application.

The profiles are changed for the PowerShell consoles configured in the PowerShell and AWS Session Manager tools. Both Windows PowerShell and PowerShell 7 and later are supported.

Example paths under HKCU:\Console:

PowerShell path	Registry profile path
C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe	%SystemRoot%_System32_WindowsPowerShell_v1.0_powershell.exe
C:\Program Files\PowerShell\7\pwsh.exe	C:_Program Files_PowerShell_7_pwsh.exe

The following registry keys are created, modified or deleted in the registry profile path:

Name	Type	Action	Value	Value basis
REG_DWORD	Add/Modify	CursorType	1	Hex
REG_DWORD	Add/Modify	FontFamiliy	36	Hex
REG_DWORD	Add/Modify	FontSize	120000	Hex
REG_DWORD	Add/Modify	FontWeight	400	Hex
REG_DWORD	Add/Modify	DefaultBackground	252525 (Dark) or FFFFFF (Light)	Hex
REG_DWORD	Add/Modify	ColorTable00	252525 (Dark) or FFFFFF (Light)	Hex
REG_DWORD	Add/Modify	ColorTable07	252525 (Dark) or 252525 (Light)	Hex
REG_SZ	Add/Modify	FaceName	Consolas	String
REG_DWORD	Delete	ScreenColors

If disabled, the Powershell console global profile(s) are no longer modified. But the original values are not restored.

note

Colors may not be set correctly when Use custom themes is enabled.
