    Change window border width back to 1 pixel under high contrast


    Windows defaults to thick window borders using the high contrast mode. How can I change it back to just 1 pixel width which is the default under non high contrast modes?

    :)

    change the thickness of the window frames in Windows 10.

    Your two options are to go to Start :: Settings :: Personalization :: Color and choose a more vibrant color for the 1 pixel window border or if that's not your speed you can use the High Contrast Themes as your base theme. That will get you back to the
    old 10 pixel wide style of border. Change window border width back to 1 pixel under high contrast :)

    How can I create a custom desktop theme?

    Border width is not an exposed customizable property of the theme. That's kind of an intricate setting. The default for Windows 10 is one pixel visible with ten pixels active "grabbable" space. If you like ten pixels visible/10 pixels grabbable space,
    you can switch to the High Contrast theme.

    No. Those are not supported for customization any fashion: those are system files required to get and keep your system up and running.
