    Recent update added narrow borders, coloured title bars


    Hi, I've been using the Aerolite theme as soon as I discovered it, as I couldn't stand white windows overlaying white windows. So I didn't know MS has added narrow borders and coloured title bars.

    So if you've been using that theme- well, it seems it's not needed now.
    And my Filebox Extender icons added in the title bar now look normal again (they were kind of crushed together using the theme, and the pin was reduced to an outline).

    Hmm, what next? Rounded corners? Transparency? Surely not...*Biggrin

    :)

    Also noticed that in the screenshot you uploaded that the window title bar is red but the border colour looks like it's black.

    In my version of Windows my borders would be red if the title bar was red. I've been wanting Microsoft to make available to users an option that would allow window colours to be configured like they are in your screenshot.

    Are you using some sort of hack for this, or is this available natively in your insider preview?

    Thanks.

    Latest Windows 10 Update Messed with my Windows' Appearances

    After I updated my HP Notebook to the latest build of Windows 10 Home (version 1703, os build 15063.483), and I had immediately noticed something: all of my windows now have a thick border around them the same colour as my accent colour, the title bars
    are this colour, and so does my Start Menu. My cursor has also been changed, as the loading circle is now an hourglass, and the other pointers are different. The icons of the options in the top right of the windows (Minimize, Restore/Maximize, Close) are also
    different in that they are now smaller and thicker, kind of like how bolding works (ex. normal - X vs now - x). I don't really like this, as I had preferred the cleaner look of no borders and the grey title bars. I have fixed the cursor issue,
    by going into the "cursor appearance" part of the Control Panel, but I need help getting rid of the accent colour and borders on my windows. I have tried the "Settings>Personalization>Colour" and turning the "Show accent colour on the Title Bars" off, but
    that didn't do anything.
