I would like to replace the default Desktop background image with a darker solid color, on an unregistered Windows 10 Pro (Insider Preview) edition. I am testing various terminal coloring schemes, and the default image is annoyingly too bright and not solid. I have tried all sorts of registry settings and also renaming and replacing the image, but it's always the same.
A few things I tried:
# Take (user) owbership of file:
takeown /F C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper\Windows\img0.jpg
# C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper\Windows\img0.jpg
$key = 'HKCU:\Control Panel\Colors' #
$key = 'HKCU:\Control Panel\Desktop' #
$key = 'HKCU:\Control Panel\Desktop\Colors' #
# Doesn't seem to effect the Desktop...only console
Set-ItemProperty -Path $key -Name 'Window' -Value '1 36 86'
# reset to default
Set-ItemProperty -Path $key -Name 'Window' -Value '255 255 255'
How can I use PowerShell to set the correct registry item(s) to remove the background image and get a solid color?
$key = "HKCU:\Control Panel\Desktop";Set-ItemProperty -Name WallPaper -Path $key -Value ''
