Windows 10: Windows frame border thickness

For my work purpose , the only reason I use MS windows 10 is because of 1 software only: Kakaotalk a Korean chatting platform. As soon as Kakaotalk is supported in Linux, goodbye Windows.


What I cannot stand in Windows 10 is the fact that MS has decided that the almost invisible border thickness is the best for ALL users. I usually have more than 10 software running and several instances of Chrome. Now the border being practically non-existent at least not visible to human eyes, I get very confused and annoyed when trying to select the window that I want. Also, it is very difficult to click on the edge of the windows to resize.


Here are my questions/comments:

1. Who has decided that practically non-existent windows frame border is the BEST for ALL users?

2. Why not provide a means to change the thickness through some options?

3. I see so many users asking this same question, but MS never provides satisfactory answer/solution.

4. Is it that MS does not have programming skills to change this anymore? This is especially mysterious since in many previous versions, this option existed. If this is the case, please announce it publicly so that people don't bring up this issue any more.


I am not looking for a solution, since it seems that there is none.

I am just trying to convey my frustration, anger and irritation to MS people.

Increase Border thickness

Hi

How do I increase the border thickness of windows?

And I did try with settings Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics\BorderWidth and \PaddedBorderWidth

but that only changed the window Title thickness.

 

Windows 10 how to get rid of thick colored borders!!!

Hi,

The width of the border in every window you open in your computer is normally very thin. Getting a thick border would somehow imply that the border settings have been changed.

To change the Window border width, follow the steps below:

• Right-click the Windows key and select Run.
• In the Run field, type regedit, and click OK.
• Click Yes if prompted by UAC.
• In regedit, navigate to the location below.
  
  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics

5. In the right pane of WindowMetrics, double click PaddedBorderWidth to modify it.

6. Type in a data value of 0 (zero) or between -1 to -1500, and click OK.

7. Close regedit.

8. Sign out and sign in with your user account to apply.

Let us know if you need further help.

Regards.

 

Increase Border thickness

Hi allonone

I am sorry, those registry edits and indeed using Winaero used to work in Windows 10, but no longer do, there is no setting or registry entry that now affects the thickness of window borders in Windows 10, sorry . . .
