    Issue with changing title bar color with some programs


    Out of the four computers I own, I was only able to get one of them upgraded to Windows 10 so far, The one I had with me the day 10 was released is a HP Envy laptop that I use primarily for a hobby I have, Astronomy. The PC had on it several programs I use while using my telescope, one being a program I use that actually controls the telescope and allows me to you the laptops LCD screen to view/ record what the telescope is focused on. That program before the upgrade had a very dark border making it easy to see images through the scope on the screen. Now the title bar is white , a very bright white and I can't find a way to change its color. The white has two effects, first it makes dim objects I am trying to see through the scope really hard to see on the laptop screen and second the title bar makes it nearly impossible to maintain the night vision a person needs to find things in the night sky to point the telescope at.
    I have tried several windows themes with no luck. Currently I have to tape a dark piece of colored paper over the title bar to block out what light from it I can but it still bleeds down into the telescopes screen view area.
    Any ideas on how to fix this? I really like 10 and would hate to have to go back to 8.1 if it can be avoided.

    :)

    Changing title bar color of specific programs

    Is there a way of changing the title bar color of specific programs? Some companies like Google are reluctant at implementing proper support for new Windows 10 features such as colored title bars.

    Goal is to make Google Chrome's title bar black or dark grey, since changing its theme makes it use a custom interface with horrible ugly context buttons.

    The goal was to test the feature with Google Chrome since it's a browser with a bad theme API. If successful, the same method could be easily applied to any other program with unmatched interface/title bar colors.

    The custom title bar color is a Windows 10 feature and 3rd-party developers can easily make it the color they'd like. Edge has a black title bar when using it's dark theme for example. I was just curious to know if there's a way to set a color for a specific
    program rather than setting the default color that affects all the title bars that aren't coded colorful by their respective developers.
