    Colour not appearing on Title Bars, WIndow Borders & Apps on Start Menu


    So recently there was an update, and after the update my colors disappeared on the start menu. It was supposed to look like the picture shown in the preview Colour not appearing on Title Bars, WIndow Borders & Apps on Start Menu 82a93cb1-3c06-495f-abd7-cba678c09be0?upload=true.png

    But it looks like this instead Colour not appearing on Title Bars, WIndow Borders & Apps on Start Menu e5ec5be3-3405-4e44-bd84-42da04c013a7?upload=true.png


    I have tried changing to default themes, unclicking all possible options but still the same. I suspect it's a windows bug. But if anyone has fix pls help me out

    :)

    Independent taskbar and window border colours?


    One of the things I find most annoying about Windows 7, being a long-time XP user, is the lack of independent colour settings for the various GUI elements, for example, the taskbar, active window title bar and active window border colours are not separately settable. I see no reason whatsoever why this has to be so - XP offered far, far more flexibility in this respect.

    As far as I can see, we still have the same situation with Windows 10. It appears to be impossible to have the taskbar a different colour to the active window title bar and border. It is even impossible to get the taskbar to be a solid colour - it is always transparent. There is not even a Windows 7-like opacity control. A massive step backwards in user personalisation control.

    And why doe the window border have to be so thin? I can hardly see it at all.

    Title Bar Colours


    In the Windows Registry, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\DWM
    in the right pane , create a new DWORD (32-bit Value) and name it AccentColorInactive
    either copy the color from 'AccentColor' or enter your desired color in hexadecimal format.
    Close the Windows Registry, interact with any new open window to see the immediate effects.

    (If you have windows with borders, such as with 'AeroLite' Theme, the borders will dim, text may dim and buttons will loose their color and opacity but the title bar color itself will remain undimmed.)
