    Custom accent color and theme settings uri scheme

    Hi,



    I am new developer to Windows phone 8. I plan to develop apps to customize accent colors other than predefined 20 colors. Can someone please help me to achieve this. And I read about some pre-defined uri-scheme also. But I cant found uri-scheme for theme
    settings. Can someone kindly provide the uri-scheme for this or else please tell the alternate way to launch theme settings window from my app on button click.



    -----

    Thanks in advance

    URI Schemes from microsoft apps don´t match in two of them

    I was researching some information about URI schemes in iana.org. Then I found out that there are many schemes from microsoft registered with the owner
    [urischemeowners_at_microsoft.com] however there are two of them apparently from microsoft, at least the properties say so, but owner is [Alexey_Melnikov], wich is also owner ot other URL schemes apparently not related to microsoft. For example:

    [table][tr][td]ms-help[/td][td]prov/ms-help[/td][td]ms-help[/td][td]Provisional[/td][td]-[/td][td][Alexey_Melnikov][/td][/tr][/table]

    Page URL is the following:

    Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) Schemes

    Question is: Is this normal? Does it represent a risk for our security or privacy?

    Thanks in advance.
