Title Bar wont change


Understand that default Title Bar in Windows 10 is white, However when I click on themes (which shows various title
bar/window borders colors (or Shades) my Title Bar stays completely white. Can anyone understand my questions & have any suggestions?

 

How do I change the Font Color to white? of the Title bar Windows 10

If you're talking about the registry hack to bring back the dark mode that was in an older version of the insider previews, it doesn't seem to break anything in the public Win 10. Neither does the Theme hack...or the combination...I'm using a combo of the
two with no problem. I'm not in the Win10 insider program, though I wish I were. I hope the white text on title bars stays in and becomes a public upgrade unlike the dark theme.

For Reference: Here are the methods I used to get to Windows 10 "Dark Theme Mode" and colorize my title bars. The Dark Theme Mode requires registry editing...don't do it if you're not comfortable with this, as you can really screw up your system if you make
a mistake.

Here is the link to instructions for the Dark Theme Mode:

Here is the link to instructions for the title bar change:

Again, I haven't had any problems with these.

I've mentioned here previously that that theme is broken. Now that Insider beta build 10532 is out, people can start to see why, as users of that theme have broken display of the new "dark" themed context menus. The methodology recommended on that site
is broken and will cause problems.

Insider build 10525 flips the font to white on dark Win32 unthemed title bars. That's not nearly what you're asking about, but seems like a step in the right direction.

Generally speaking, the system doesn't support a dark theme at this point in time. The theme hack suggestion is fairly broken and would be expected to cause problems. As a case in point, it breaks the new dark context menus that just debuted in 10525.
