    Now you can have COLORED INACTIVE TITLE BARS !


    Hi all

    Here is how :

    Let's go into regedit ( launch run command and type "regedit" without quotes )

    Now go to the following path :

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\DWM

    now you gonna create a new dword ( see screenshot ) named " AccentColorInactive "


    Now you can have COLORED INACTIVE TITLE BARS ! [​IMG]
    double click on it and edit the color with hexadecimal values using a nice url I found for it

    Color Hex Color Codes

    the TRICK is to copy from right to left the values ( blue first , then green and red ) found in hexadecimal field


    Now you can have COLORED INACTIVE TITLE BARS ! [​IMG]
    Now fill the DWORD hexadecimal field with them to get :


    Now you can have COLORED INACTIVE TITLE BARS ! [​IMG]


    Now you have your INACTIVE windows title bars COLORED


    Now you can have COLORED INACTIVE TITLE BARS ! [​IMG]

    Windows 10 title bar color

    Right-click desktop, Properties, Colors. Select an accent color, and enable the following option:

    Show color on Start, Taskbar, action center, and title bar

    One problem is that the inactive title bar color also uses the same accent color. But you can change the inactive titlebar color using registry edit (AccentColorInactive). Change
    the Inactive Title Bar Color in Windows 10?

    And to independently apply the accent colors (eg., only for titlebars), see this excellent post at Reddit: tutorial_independently_colourise_or_decolourise

    Google for ColorPrevalence and AccentColorInteractive

    After some testing, I've found that the 'tweak' works as expected on an 'AeroLite' Theme, much more so than on Windows default 'Hero' theme.
