What a brilliant effect! Thank you I will experiment with this :)

Is there any way in GMS2 to create menu/GUI elements using the operating system's theme? I want to create replacements for some of my OS' default programs but want them to look like they belong, regardless of the user's theme.

You can get the Windows system colors through the Windows API, and send that back to GameMaker using a DLL: stackoverflow.com/questions/63159666/get-windows-10-theme-color-in-classic-c-winapi-win32-application
Dunno about other operating systems though.
