Based on this issue:
I've decided to write an applet to interact with Windows 10 (maybe via the Registry?), and modify and show colors and where you are likely to see them. For example, I might display common contrasts like you might see on Title Bars, Highlighted text in the Mail and Calendar app, the weird colors in Process Explorer, etc.
I am looking for packages, other applets, etc., to get started.
Here are a couple specific questions such that I hopefully do not create a question that is too vague or opinion-based:
How does one interact with the Windows Registry in Python? (For example, if I wanted to read/write the Keys in Control Panel...Colors)
What are the registry items that control colors in Windows 10? (I am already aware of the ones in Control Panel, and DWM, but a detailed description of how they are used would be great. For example, AccentColor is apparently "randomly" updated by the OS all the time.)

I don't have deeper insight or a solution but the following links might help:
