SikuliX

What happens when I change the theme / display settings for OS.

Asked by lamirap

If a sikuli script is recorded and played back immediately it works fine. Also if the icons are relocated on the desktop, still it works fine, however if I change the theme or colors or resolution, how will it work? Is is information also stored so that any change can be accounted for in the tolerance.

Changing theme would likely fail a sikuli script.
Color and resolution changes do not matter.

I am integrating Sikuli with selenium. When I run the script on my machine it works like a charm. But when I am trying to run the same script on other machine WITH OTHER DISPLAY THEME, the script fails (ofcourse, because the color of the screenshot that I captured do not match with the theme on the other machine).

So, I was wondering if there is any other way to ignore the theme/color changes in the OS?

@ Suket
currently only if it is possible for you, to restrict the captured visuals to the region, that is identical in both themes.

There is a request bug, that wants a feature, to ignore a background color (make it "transparent"). This would help in some situations like that ( bug 673995 )
