    How to add color to the window borders


    Under Windows 10 I don’t know how to add colors to the window borders of applications open, as that makes them easier to spot when I work with several at the same time. Now the frames are all white or grey.
    Where is the settings dialogue for that?

    How to set the Window border color in Windows 10

    I asked this question over on Stackoverflow, and got no response there -

    Stackoverflow: How to set unique Window Border Color in Windows 10?

    How can you set the Windows border color to 'anything other than the default white' color presented in Windows 10? Specific examples are File Explorer and MS Paint.

    Let me know, and I'll compose this as an answer for the above Stackoverflow post as well!

    MR. ED

    HELLO,


    Yes, I am referring to the Windows Border.
    In Windows 8.1 the border was wider and you could have a color with a wider border.

    In Windows 10 this is not the case, the borders are "super thin" without color.

    Also, the "grayed-out" Menu Bar can cause you to close an active window inadvertently.
    This is a flaw.
    How is this fixed in Windows 10?
