Windows 10: Changing Window Borders and Title Bar WITHOUT messing up anything ELSE

Nvidia is just showing what it can handle as native. The other two are what your actual resolution is set at, but none are answering my question of the setting I asked about. You can try changing them to see, but what is this one at? If this is not a recommended that is the problem.

 

You could try WinAero Tweaker, it can do what your looking for.

 

I did. It didn't hold. Made the changes but they disappeared after reboot.

 

Something else just popped in my head. Do you have more than one W10 machines? If so do you use the same sign in? Maybe under the sync settings the theme is set to sync also, and it's messing things up.

 

It was not at 100, so I reset it and this is what happened:




Previously, I had all those icons in separate affinity groups spread out on twin monitors. The resetting shrunk them all terribly (these old eyes can't squint that much) and grouped them all in one collection with no order.

 

Good thought, but no. More than one machine, but only put Win10 on one to see if it would function for me. So far, the jury is out.

 

OK but setting it back to 100 did the title bars go back to normal too? And with it back to 100 can you now change the settings and uncheck the bold box?

 

Yes on Libre Office. Can't read the others easily.

Will try the settings changes you suggest.

 

That's strange, they hold for me.

 

It does not allow changes, but it now comes up at size 9 (9 pt ?) and bold is unchecked

 

That's 'cause you built it yourself. I see your System Specs include Whitbreads, Double Diamond, Newcastle, and Bass.

 

In this case I don't think hardware makes much of a difference.

What you could do in WinAero is make your alteration then move to the next section then close the program. I've had to do that sometimes to make it stick.

 

Smart idea!

I'll try that, if needed, after following instructions from Bobby Phoenix.

Thank YOU!

 

After a reboot and some fiddling, here is the result at 100% recommended display.



As you can see, the Title Bar for "This PC" and "Control Panel/Display" are close to desired size -- progress! -- but for some unknown reason, the Title Bar for Ten Forums and all other internet sites, uses much more space (top-to-bottom)

Any thoughts?

 

That looks like a modified theme for how thick the borders are. Did you try to increase them with the Winaero Tweaker? If you still have that program try going through each setting, and click the Reset to default button on each. If that doesn't work Winaero also has a program called Tiny Windows Borders, but it doesn't work on Windows 10 as Windows 10 doesn't respect the programs code, but you can see what the borders are set to. Windows default is 1/4. Maybe you can just run it to see what numbers come up as default. Also now that it is back to 100% try clicking on the default theme again. Maybe it will reset it.
