    Change Color of Inactive Title Bar in Windows 10


    Hello unko, *Smile

    I believe it's the same. Please post a screenshot showing your registry setting and the color on the title bar to see if it may reveal anything.

    Shawn, I found out today, to get the exact color you want with HEX, you need to enter BGR, instead of RGB.

    Hello Cliff, *Smile

    Yeah, I just noticed that and added a note to help.

    To get the BBGGRR hex number, you will need to reverse the first two and last two characters of the RGB in the color table below.

    In Note it says that you must turn on Show color on Start, taskbar, action center, and title bar to change the color of the inactive title bar.
    That's not true in my case. In the registry dubbleclick on ColorPrevalence and change it's value from 0 to 1. Then the taskbar stays black*Smile

    Yeah, I remember you mentioned that too, during one of our Skype meetings also. I just didn't think it applied when you have a list of HEX colors, but it seems they're given in RGB too. I don't know why they just don't post them how they should be entered*Confused

    *ThumbsI found noticed it today while working on that theme for geheim.

    Hello prikker, *Smile

    It depends on where in the registry your setting the ColorPrevalence DWORD. If the same DMW location as in the tutorial, then that's the same setting used by the tutorial link in the note box.

    Okay. I'm not an expert on this subject. If I set show color or even change the wallpaper then my taskbar is blue or color of wallpaper and I have to go back in the registry to revert and apply changes again*Wink

    The Reg tweak works as intended but, only fully on Explorer windows, regardless of the theme.
    The only thing it will dim is the Title Bar Text and the Close/Min/Max buttons.
    Any other windows and/or snap-ins, it will change the left,right and bottom border as well.

    Strange. Why does it do this? If I had your look then I would not be satisfied and try everything to make it look the same*Wink

    Change Color of Inactive Title Bar in Windows 10

    Yeah, who knows!
    There's so many different gradients over so many UI's with different 'layers'; combine that with MS's effort to make it all immersive across all devices, and it's a big mess!
    It's the nature of the beast! *Wink

    Has anyone got this to work with the AeroLite theme?

    It works fine with the default theme, but with AeroLite the colour of inactive windows won't change for me and nothing I do will make it work.
