How To Change Title Bar Color In Windows 10

I would hope that in the near future they apply a hotfix for the active title bar thing. That just seems like an incredibly strange design decision.

The most jarring thing so far is this fucking white title bar color.

I wait with bated breath for the Win10 version of WindowsBlinds.

Outstanding.

Anyone having issues with the Windows 10 downloader not creating viable USB boot images? I can create a DVD that boots. When I attempt to make a USB with the MS tool, it either throws the error "An error Occurred" or the process just crashes, both at around 35-50% of writing it to the USB. I have also created a USB from the ISO image from different machines and they all refuse to boot any machine I try to boot with them.

Not sure if it's worth asking here, but has anyone else had issues with typing in the search bar on Chrome? I'm hoping this isn't related to the fix to the white title bar above.

Basically whenever I start typing, after about 7-8 characters they stop showing up in the search bar. It's almost like Chrome is caching or something. Occasionally after waiting a few seconds it'll catch up, but not all the time. It's annoying as fuck though, because I can't see what I'm typing.

Maybe this is their plan to get me using Edge?

I made a 32/64 bit USB installer today without issue. Eager to upgrade my computers. Any good reason I should wait for my main (gaming) comp?

Driver issues maybe with Nvidia/AMD, but aside from that no. I expect the next week to be full of constant updates/patches etc, so holding off for a minute won't be a bad thing. If your current setup handles whatever you do fine, it will continue to do so. I will 100% advocate that to minimize overall issues, just hang for a week before updating.

The white doesn't bother me, but the lack of differentiation between inactive window and active window title bars does.

BTW, Edge has a Dark Theme, which makes it look almost exactly like Steam.

I complained about it earlier in the thread I think, something I have noticed is that active windows have a 1-pixel border. I will probably look at the StarDock windows blind stuff at some point, hopefully its stable....

Anyone else experiencing weird behaviour with snap? I've had issues where the window will be snapped on the right, but hitting Win+Left doesn't move it to the left side of the screen as before, however pressing thewrong directionwill snap it to the other side. (e.g. Left, hit win+left to move to the right...)

Edit: Something else disappointing, now that I'm using it on a system with a mouse - Forward and Backward buttons often do not work. e.g. in Settings only back works, in Photos neither works (whereas the they did in the old win7 preview viewer)

Also, despite not having right-click uninstall options it is possible to remove things like Weather & Maps via powershell commands.

Its also flat out ridiculous (and annoying for accidental clicks) that Help icons open Bing searches.

The thin borders are great. They've been moving in that direction for a while and with high res screens there's no reason not to.

But the only differentiation between an active window and inactive window is a slightly darker dropshadow. It hardly matters in practice though, you generally know what window is overlapping another.

The colour of the border is related to your active colour choice, its not enough imo if you have multiple displays or a high resolution screen.

The PIN to login is very nice. I can actually use my MS account now because I was too lazy to memorize my lastpass password I generated for it so. I always setup my machines with a local account.
