    Title bar accent color won't change to default.


    I've had this issue before, it never got resolved. I've tried stuff like: Navigate in regedit to DWM and set Color Prevalence to 0 (REG_DWORD), and Turn accent title colors off in settings, even did a system scan, updated my PC, checked for malware... None of that worked. I even restarted my pc, and tried it again. It happened somewhere around the beginning of may. It really ruins the look of windows and i have to deal with this ugly color. The black box and stuff around it looks worse (the - [] X). I wouldn't complain if it didn't give that black box around the icons. It'd be acceptable if the update didn't ruin the color of my windows, and also, there's a fat border around the window, which again looks very ugly. All i want is to get that clean window look back again. I'm not going to reset my PC for some dinky thing. It'd take me weeks to install everything, and I'd loose on my projects and stuff. Here's the image further specifying my problem. Title bar accent color won't change to default. 1bf3c70e-cab3-4d8d-a212-0289a5928fc8?upload=true.png 96

    Is it possible to change title bar text color to black if choosing blue as accent color in Windows 10??

    Hey,

    starting with the 1511 update, Windows automatically changes the text color in title bars to White, if choosing blue as Accent Color in the settings. Is it possible to change it back to black whilst keeping blue title bars?? I really hate the white text
    color!

    Thanks!

    Title bar accent color won't change to default.

    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
