Previously there was an issue in Windows 10 that at all. This outrageous design was changed by the TH2 update so colored title bars became available like all previous releases of Windows. But the title bar of a window when it becomes inactive/unfocused still cannot be easily changed. Many users are looking for a way to change the color of inactive title bars in Windows 10. With Windows 10 November Update, it too became possible although Microsoft has not documented it.

Turn off the option 'Automatically pick an accent color from my background' if enabled. Now, pick a color you want to apply to the title bar of inactive windows.

↓. Daniel BeardsmoreSweet! As soon as I saw this effect in your screenshots on another page I decided to track down where you’d published the secret.To be fair, I was actually quite content with the white title bars of inactive windows (and maybe one day I’ll return to it), but I can’t resist a tweak like this! For the first time since 8.0, I can have inactive title bars that are darker than active title bars, a tweak that was possible using a custom theme in 8.0 but seemingly not possible in 8.1.
↓. CraigAero Lite test (23-aug-17)Sergey, your suspicion/observation is correct. When a non-AeroLite theme is used, the AccentColorInactive key is recognized and applied. Even the Explorer windows work as expected, recognizing the AccentColorInactive key. So far, only the PC settings windows still show no color when they are inactive.So its seems to be a trade-off between Aero Lite visible window borders with a default “inactive” faded border tint but no title bar color change versus no visible window borders but “inactive” title bar color choice.At least we have choices! Thanks for the suggestion.
↓. CraigAdditional same-day observations (22-aug-17)Tried to eliminate possible influence of Classic Shell by not starting it @login, but the results were the same as previously reported.Checked other accounts on the computer that did not have the AccentColorInactive key defined and had the same results.Modified the account that has AccentColorInactive key defined to an obviously different color and the window border color did not change to the new color for the inactive windows.It would appear MS no longer checks the presence of that key or some other key is controlling its use.
↓. Mark BWinaero Tweaker Problem – Inactive Window Title ColorI just installed Winaero Tweaker 0.10.2.0 on two different Win 10 Home 1803 64-bit systems, and I seem to be having a small problem on JUST ONE of those two PCs. Can you help?My two windows systems were re-installed just last week.I enabled Aero Lite.I changed the size of the window border=2 and padding=2.I also enabled “window tracking” under “XMouse Options”I selected an Inactive Title Bars Color.Then I logged out and back in again.The change to border width and padding t is working.
I think this shows that Aero Lite is working. Window tracking is also working.But the color of the inactive window title bar is NOT what I selected. In fact, it is the same color as for the ACTIVE window.
This is a problem, because this makes the text in the inactive window title bar almost impossible to see.The AccentColorInactive and AccentColor registry entries under “HKEYCURRENTUSERSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsDWM” do indeed have different values: “ffcdccbc” and “fff2a626”, respectively.It’s very strange, because it works on one PC and not the other. Am I missing something?Thank you,—Mark.
