Windows 10: Is there someway to change titlebar text color?

Is there a way to change titlebar text color? like for active and inactive title bars? I mean I really do not understand at all why they removed all these customization options in windows 10, that even windows 95, 98, xp, me, vista, 7 and I think 8 had.

:)

 

Creators Update ruined my fonts

After the Creator's udpate, I notice that every window's Titlebar and Menu bar is now
too tiny to read. In the Settings > System > Display > Scale/layout I had set 125% which used to take care of tiny text. I had also changed some advanced settings to use larger
text - I can't find these settings any more. There's nothing helpful in "Personalization" settings. I shouldn't need a new "theme" just to be able to read the titlebar!

While I'm at it, I chose a nice medium green for my taskbar and the titlebar is the same colour. BUT the taskbar is WHITE text and the titlebar is BLACK text. So neither is a good contrast for readability. What a disaster!

How do I change the titlebar text

Hi

I cannot change the text in the titlebar in Windows Mobile.

How do I go about that?

Best regards

Poul

 

Agreed.

And, how can we change Titlebar size? It's too big.

 

Nope, you can thank the hipster idiots at Microsoft for really "listening" to what people want in an operating system and don't worry I feel your pain, among countless others that simply cannot tell the difference between an active and inactive Window. Some 10 fanbois go as far as to call it "nitpicking" but honestly its not, its a simple basic feature that should be available to all. Hopefully the idiots at Microsoft will put this feature back in. What would help is if you report feedback in your W10 feedback to Microsoft search for color title bars or customization and keep spamming them and tell your friends.

Right now, this is the only work around to get color titlebars, but to let you know in advance it changes the text to black unfortunately, which you cannot change. So pick a lighter color so you can at lease read your Windows. Good luck.

Winaero Tweaker does both change the colors, and size. You can get it from winaero.com.

 

heyyahblah: Thank you for your sympathies!

Bobby Phoenix: How safe are tweaks from winaero?

 

I can recommend Winaero, there are all sorts of visual customisations you can do with it.

 

Very safe. I've been using tools from there for years. Never had an issue.

 

I'll give it a try. Thank you.

 

Good Morning, Bobby. Here's my promised report on trying WinAero Tweaker and PPanel.

WinAero Tweaker worked to change font in windows Title Bars. Excellent. Thank you for the suggestion.

But it:

• failed to adjust Title Bar height
• did not adjust Icon separations either horiz or vert
• completely knocked out my theme which Win10 Display won't restore now. Going back to a Restore Point didn't get it either.

Funny thing is, my chosen theme is a photo in the Windows 10 and 7 options.

 

The Windows 10 title bar color is crap indeed, sorry to say. By default it is all white and it sometimes is really difficult to see differences when window panes are overlapping.
Windows 10 has soo little features on as far as themes. I don't like black/dark ones, I don't like all kinds of pictures, but like soft gradient blue color ones. Windows 10 offers solid ones only.

 

What option exactly did you use to adjust the height? And are you using 0.3.1.1 version of Tweaker?

I'm not sure by what Icons you are talking about.

When you select to apply colored title bars as in Windows 8/8.1 it defaults to the default theme. You should be able to just click on the photo, right click, and set as background.

EDIT - Also if you're not liking the changes it did just go back to each thing you applied, and click the Reset to defaults. See if that helps with your original theme.

 

Oh, how I wish you were right, Bobby!

Yes, I'm using 0.3.1.1.
Yes, I used the same Title Bar height spec you illustrated, but it did not take...twice.
Yes, I tried right-clicking the photo, but it did not offer a "set as background choice" so I saved it, resaved it under another name, and neither worked. Grrrr. As frustrating as the Buccaneers' Offensive Line!

 

See if you can reset all things in Tweaker back to defaults with the Reset to default button.

Go to the full theme selection option (Theme settings under Themes), and see if your old theme that had the photo you wanted is there. If so click on it to see if it applies. If it is not there try selecting the default them to set all options back to the original Windows 10 theme. If that works hopefully you can try again either with your theme you had before trying Tweaker, or just try one option at a time to see what it does.
