    I upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10, and now there is a black rectangle under the title bar's text. The rectangle is exactly the same color as the text, so it's not possible to see the text. If I defocus the window, the text color gets lighter to indicate that the window is defocused, so it's visible. How can I fix this? I looked it up and all of the search results were completely irrelevant.



    This is what it looks like with the window focused

    black rectangles in title bar of some windows

    Hello!

    Since I've installed Windows 10, I have rectangles in the title bar of some windows, which look like this:


    Black rectangle on title bar 3f41e056-703a-49ff-89ff-334af45c9c22.jpg


    It was an upgrade from Windows 7 and all the drivers are up to date. I've also installed all updates from update center. The OS language is Russian.

    Hope for a quick reply. Thank you!

    Black title bars and white text


    Sure:
    In Winaero Tweaker, Under "Appearance" then "Aero Light" select "Enable Aero Light (white text)" as shown here

    In Windows 10 Personalize, Turn off "Automatically pick an accent color from my background" and choose accent color as shown.

    In Windows 10 Personalization Color Intensity, set Hue and Brightness all the way to the left, Saturation all the way to the right. Set Color intensity all the way to the right. It doesn't seem to matter what color you choose, with the sliders set as shown, the result is black.

    In Classic Shell "Start Menu Settings" Windows 10 Settings" tab set options according to shown.

    I'm still working on setting the inactive title bar text color. I'd like it to be a more visible gray to distinguish between active and inactive. I also need to change the text to white in the minimized buttons on the task bar.
