is it possible to force taskbar thumbnails with high contrast theme so I don't need to use some alt tab replacement utility to see the thumbnails ?
why?
I'm tired of white backgrounds and you will at some age of your life
I discovered these:

but I'm currently in love with the Zenburn one, just make sure you go to chrome://flags and disable forced colors and then enable dark theme and you'll see the sites correctly and the rest of the OS will be dark themed.
I know the alternatives: uxthemepatcher and aero dark theme... but I can't find one like Zenburn
best sokution to see the thumbnails is to keep Aero ON, I know, but I'm sure it can be forced...
so...
perfect solution: hight contrast with thumbnails
good solution: Aero Lite dark theme sure thumbnails will work (I tried copy-paste of .theme [Control Panel\Colors] into aerolite.theme but nothing... )
ok solution: aero dark theme...
I think there is a way with something like
SetWindowCompositionAttribute.exe class Shell_TrayWnd blur false

SetWindowCompositionAttribute.exe class Shell_TrayWnd accent 0 0 0 0
SetWindowCompositionAttribute.exe class Shell_TrayWnd blur true
tried also..

without any luck, do you know if the thumbnails can be forced using some autoit script or any similar .exe and calling DwmEnableComposition ?
THANKS
