    Title Bar Colours


    In Win7 I had title bars that were graded from one colour to another along the length. They started red at the left and gradually merged to be blue at the right.

    How do I do this in Win10?

    :)

    Title Bar colour change.

    Jmarco0921 Sorry...My mistake, it's the "TITLE BAR" that I want to colour, not the Task Bar. There is no
    option in Settings by which I can colour in the Title Bar. All the answers I have found to colour the Title Bar are either very confusing, or haven't worked.

    Yours,

    In the Windows Registry, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\DWM
    in the right pane , create a new DWORD (32-bit Value) and name it AccentColorInactive
    either copy the color from 'AccentColor' or enter your desired color in hexadecimal format.
    Close the Windows Registry, interact with any new open window to see the immediate effects.

    (If you have windows with borders, such as with 'AeroLite' Theme, the borders will dim, text may dim and buttons will loose their color and opacity but the title bar color itself will remain undimmed.)

    Title Bar Colours


    Hi everyone.

    After the latest update Microsoft have finally allowed different coloured title bars, however, inactive (out of focus) windows now automatically revert to a white title bar colour. I've been searching everywhere and found no way of changing this. Adjusting the registry values under HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/Colors seem to have no impact on the inactive window colours.

    Anyone got any ideas?
