    how to change inactive windows top/border from white?


    Greetings.
    I have found the setting where I can change the color of active windows top and border, but nomatter what I change, an inactive windows top is _always_ white. I would like a dark blue for an active window, and a lighter blue for an inactive window. Is that possible to do? Maybe with regedit? *Smile

  2. On Windows 10 how do I change the Active window border color?

    I have the same problem with Windows 10. The color schemes and how they work are inferior to Windows 7. The switch does change the color of the taskbar and start "menu", but it does not change the color of window borders- either active or inactive. My
    Window borders are medium gray or white, depending on the program being used. They don't change between active and inactive. When I have multiple windows open on the screen it is not easy to discern which one is the active window, although it is usually the
    one on top, unless they are side by side.

  3. Windows 10 window border problem, what's wrong with you UI developers eyes?!

    The inactive window borders are decolorized and blurred by design. It's to provide a stronger contrast with active windows.

    Yes and no.
    It changes the color of the border of the window, NOT the color of the top bar of the window *cry. It changes the color of the text in the top bar though, so it must be possible to dot it?

    Thank you. *Smile Now I can change the color like I want to, so it fits the inactive windowtitle textcolor (which I can't change).
    Why on earth has Microsoft made it so difficult for us to set a minor thing as color-choise??
