    Is it possible to change window border thickness?


    I think Windows 10 colors are outrageously difficult to deal with. I detest the "FLAT" look. Where is the Windows 3.1 Theme?

    Seriously, thanks for the link to an improved theme.

    hi Brink , that Option One works for the Windows 10 File Explorer, Edge and Chrome type windows. But does not work for Office 2016 apps, i.e. neither the main app window (ex Outlook ) or the sub windows (ex tables or queries within Access ) ?

    correct, that is the one - it changes Chrome, Edge, FileExplorer, WordPad, NotePad and other 'older' apps. But does not affect the MSOffice 2016 suite of apps

    Ok here's why according to the developer of AeroGlass:
    Same for - for example- some multimedia programs which draw their own frame.

    Winaero Tweaker can reduce border width (or increase) along with quite a few other nice tweaks.

    Ah, my bad on the Office info. That's why reading is our friend. Anyway:
    "AeroGlass is just a rendering engine for DWM. Office apps override DWM and draw its own frame by itself. So it is not possible." Quote from bigmuscle
