    Changing Windows UI Elements


    I'm new to Windows 10 (Windows 10 Pro 20H2) and I've been trying to change some UI elements.

    1. Registry.
    Changing the value of "MenuBar" in "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Colors" has no effect.
    Why is that? Can I change the MenuBar background color somewhere else in the Registry?

    2. Creating a theme.
    I've followed the steps provided in Please Wait... | Cloudflare.
    What tool should I use for editing the theme?
    And when and why does UltraUXThemePatcher come in?

    Thank you. I'd appreciate your help.

    :)

    Missing UI elements/Glitch

    Some minor UI elements are missing on my Win10, like the gray background of the commonly used Apps you see when you click on the search button in the taskbar. Another missing UI element is the small rounded rectangle that indicates the percentage in the
    slider bars, this includes the volume slider that pops up when you click the volume icon in the taskbar, the volume slider inside of the Movies & TV app and the screen brightness slider inside of the notification centre. Basically all of the native Win10 applications
    that have sliders in them are missing the little rounded squared that indicates the percentage on the slider. It's important to mention that all of the features are fully functional and work as intended, they're just missing the slider's indicator.
    I have tried all the standard restoring procedures such as running DISM and SFC commands, nothing works as this issue is not being detected by any of these methods.
    Please get back to me on this, I'm looking forward to a solution.

    Best regards.
