How to customize the ribbon background color in Windows explorer

Hello community,

I am using Windows 10 version 1607. I am trying to change the background color of the command ribbon in windows explorer.

I have found relevant information here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd940487(v=vs.85).aspx

I can see that UI_PKEY_GlobalBackgroundColor needs to be edited, but I need step- by-step instructions on how to do so. I am trying
to change the background color to black to compliment a theme I am using.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Mark

 

Remove colored ribbon tabs in title bar on a file explorer window in Win10Pro

When i am working i need to concentrate on my work. i need to switch quickly between many different windows using the mouse. That is how i use my computer. The existence of color tabs require extra steps to minimize the ribbon each time i put a file window
on top. Or i must concentrate on finding the right spot to click on the bar. this slows productivity. Also the picture you posted shows how useless the ribbon is for those who may use it because that ribbon is mostly blank, only has three items and takes
up a large part of the window. The ribbon is always available using the items on the bar just below the title bar.

You did not answer if those color tabs on the title bar can be shut off. Can a change in the registry shut off the color tabs on the title bar? Is there any other hack that can shut off these color tabs?
