How to apply a color theme

You can change the color of many UI elements by going to the "Select color" sub menu in "Advanced Settings" or loading a g-code file with special color commands, after changing a color you must save settings to the EEPROM to make it permanent. If you want to apply a color theme, download the g-code file and "print" it, if you like the colors, make them permanent, saving the settings in the Control menu.

It is possible to embed these special color codes inside of a normal g-code file to, for example, to use the background color of the screen as an indicator of the status of the print.

Structure of the C11 g-code:

C11 En Rn Gn Bn

En: n refers to an UI element.
Rn Gn Bn: Is the color on RGB (red, green, blue) format, for the DWIN display, the red and blue color can go from 0 to 31, and the green color from 0 to 63.
