Windows 10: Change Title Bar Text Color in Windows 10

I will try to create a theme for you, but you need to give me some input.

You do not want Aerolite right?

You want the basic Windows Theme with black title text, both active & inactive?
This means only active windows have colored title bars, inactive windows are nuclear white....

The only modifications I can do is coloring, of some areas but not all, this is called a "HybridAero Theme". I have created many and might be able to help. You can see my work in this thread: Solved Windows 10 Themes created by Ten Forums members - Windows 10 Forums Further into the thread is where I start creating the Hybrid Aero themes. Post there, the answers to my questions an a description of what you would like for color changes.

I'll be glad to help if I can*Biggrin

 

First off i want to say that this is quite an amazing website.

I am having the same issue as others. I am on a laptop.










there are my screen shots. i am on the latest update KB2267602 (Definition 1.213.1628.0)
any help will be great. i want to have the dark theme with green font color on all text in the system, but i can't seam to find anything that works.

 

Hello omnominous, and welcome to Ten Forums. *Smile

Does the text color show on the title bar of File Explorer?

 

No it does not change. Same old color.

 

Turn on Show color on Start, taskbar, action center, and title bar. It should show on File Explorer afterwards. *Smile

Thanks that worked, but what about for the rest of them, system wide.

 

It used to be system wide, but it now seems that it's only for explorer processes like File Explorer and Paint (mspaint.exe) that I've seen so far.

 

Whats the purpose of having these values to change if they do not change.

 

In time, they may not be there anymore.

Some of the old values may not work anymore even when they're still in the registry. We try to make use of what we can that still works. This worked for all title bar text at one time, but now it's limited. Now, it's just something that you can change if you would like this little bit more to customize. *Sad

 

I hope that they will add all of these options into the settings. Customization for all. Make your pc yours with these small changes. These would be a slogan that could making the image of windows 10 better, the wallpaper just doesnt cut it anymore. We can customise the parts in our pc to the way we like it, yet our interface experience is not. Microsoft needs to become inovating a little more if they wish to succeed even greater than apple and linux.
In conclusion, this means that this thread is dead. Ill be around others for sure making my experience unique.

 

If you mean for apps which use Xaml, that can't be changed, this is only for system32 windows(nothing "modern").

Here is a screenshot with Weather app, Calendar app, Control Panel, and File Explorer open, as you can see the modern apps stay white text, while FE & CP have silver and gold text:





Also I have found that depending on the color spectrum color that windows will not set your desired text color. For more information on what I mean, start reading here: Solved Windows 10 Themes created by Ten Forums members - Page 74 - Windows 10 Forums

 

The program worked flawlessly however, I cannot seem to successfully change the text color within the explorer bars. I've changed "active Title" and "Title Text" and "Window Text"to black (0 0 0) within HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\Colors, but my explorer title text remains white. Is there a setting that I'm not recognizing for the explorer title texts?

 

Hello Berkey, *Smile

Did you turn on Show color on Start, taskbar, action center, and title bar for your title bar text color to show in File Explorer?

 

Hi Shawn!

Yup, I initially tried both settings (on then off), but it seems the white text remains

 

After some more testing, I noticed that it the text color for File Explorer will only show when you have turned off: https://www.windowsphoneinfo.com/threads/turn-on-or-off-show-color-on-title-bars-in-windows-10.8498/

In addition to the above, you could use the AeroLite theme to have color on the title bar with the text color.
