Windows 10: What is the taskbar colour registry key?

So for a while now I've been trying to find the registry key that changes the colour of the taskbar but nothing I have found on the internet has worked. I am using registry changes view to track the changes between setting a new colour and these are all the changed keys. I've tried a bunch of these but all I've found is that

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM\AccentColor

changes the title bar colour. Any help to find the key that changes the taskbar colour would be appreciated.

Taskbar registry key

You can experiment to determine this.

Download, install and run Regshot (free).
Make sure your PC is idle.
Create the first snapshot.. wait patiently.
Now change the taskbar size
Create the 2nd snapshot.. wait patiently.
Click Compare

The report categorises and lists changes to registry keys. It's normally not long.

 

Independent taskbar and window border colours?


One of the things I find most annoying about Windows 7, being a long-time XP user, is the lack of independent colour settings for the various GUI elements, for example, the taskbar, active window title bar and active window border colours are not separately settable. I see no reason whatsoever why this has to be so - XP offered far, far more flexibility in this respect.

As far as I can see, we still have the same situation with Windows 10. It appears to be impossible to have the taskbar a different colour to the active window title bar and border. It is even impossible to get the taskbar to be a solid colour - it is always transparent. There is not even a Windows 7-like opacity control. A massive step backwards in user personalisation control.

And why doe the window border have to be so thin? I can hardly see it at all.
