Windows 10: Anyway to get back that color chooser for like title bar text?

For some reason MS in their inane wisdom decided to remove the function of being able to set custom title bar text colors and such like windows 7 and below had, Is there someway to get this back? even if its a 3rd party app it is ok. I mean when I ugpraded from win 7 to win 10 it kept my old settings for those things, so the functionality should still be there, they just removed the control panel that let you edit it. This has the menu I am talking about scroll down a bit: Customize the Title Bar and Other System Fonts in Windows 7 Its the windows color and apperance panel I am talking about.

Anyway is there someway 3rd party or otherwise to get this menu back? or something that lets you edit the same things?

Get colored title bars without changing whole color scheme?

Is there a way in Threshold 2 Update to get the colored titled bar without changing your whole color scheme?

I like the default start menu and taskbar colors. But in order to get a colored "title bar" i.e. see your active window with focus, you need to change the global color setting that changes Start, taskbar, action center, & title bar. There doesn't seem to
be a similar color to choose like the default color of the Start Menu.

I was very disappointed to find out colored title bars are not enabled by default.

The lack of color for the active window that has focus was the most annoying thing about Windows 10. They seemed to have brought it back, but I'm sure hardly any people are going to use it and enable it since it's disabled by default.

Any way to change ONLY the focused window's title bar color?

 

Change title bar back to white in Windows 10 November (1511) update.

If there a way to change the title bar back to the white color original Windows 10 without changing the task bar to it's black and grey colors. I find the new colored title bars in the update to be too bright and the text is harder to read.

I like the way it was in the original Windows 10 where I could change the color of the task bar, but still had the white title bar.

 

Only with a High Contrast Theme, I'm afraid.

 

Check in the tutorials index(forum header right hand side) for Aero lite to get color back in the title bars when you set a background and personalization settings, and then search for personalize classic right click menu. With those 2 tools, you should be on your way when using an Aero theme.

@ Scyris:

The closest you'll get to this:





would be to install Brink's 'Personalization Classic' context menu extension, run a High Contrast theme then go to 'Color and Appearance':

This How to Geek article that did the trick for me - How to Get Colored Window Title Bars on Windows 10 (Instead of White)

 

Hi, you can do something like that (all colours completely variable).
Note the white caption text in the title bar, background colours (including explorer), glass effect, and the adjustments in the utility from the Aeroglass site.

That's native Win 10 + Aeroglass + AeroglassGUI tweaker, then Y'z shadow, a tiny reg hack for most backgrounds, and Quizo's Qttabbar for explorer, control panel.

What I've noted is it's really hard to pick a border colour for inactive windows that shows both the greyish text and the white text. Unfortunately Explorer and Wordpad title text remains obstinately black. (Whereas Notepad's -e.g. - doesn't).

I started using the Aerolite theme, until someone pointed out that borders had been reintroduced in a Windows update..

 

...and the AeroglassGUI tweaker lets you set the caption colour.
Brink's 'Personalization Classic' context menu extension works too to adjust the border colour.

Th2 (Windows version 1511 (OS Build 10586.3) now has this option in Settings>>>Personalization>>>Colors(title bar has been added).

 

Cliff S: - Scyris asked about the text colour- is that what that option addresses? Tks.
