The outline still remains on both desktop and universal apps and might be able to give you a hint as to which app window is active. Turning color Off on the title bars via this switch turns it Off for both Desktop and universal apps like the Windows Store app. It’s a bit bland but we’re not going to judge if that’s how you like your windows.

Here’s what an active Chrome window’s title bar will look like. Turn it Off and your title bars will no longer have any color. You will see a new switch called ‘Show color on title bar’. On the Colors tab, scroll down to where the options for turning color On/Off on the Start Menu, taskbar, and Action center are. Open the Settings apps and go to the Personalization group of settings. For now you will only see the option if you’re running a Windows 10 Preview build released after the Build 2016 event. The Windows 10 Anniversary Update has an option that allows you to turn the color Off on the title bars. We assume most users are happy now that they have their colored title bars back but if you liked those plain white title bars in Windows 10, here’s how you can get them back. After an update from Ubuntu 20.04 to 20.10, I now have an extra bar on top of some windows. Users quickly set about to hacking their way to a colored title bar and Microsoft eventually enabled them again through a later update. All windows had a very thin colored line around the border but that was about it. One noteworthy complaint was that the title bars of all desktop apps were white. The initial reviews were good but users still noted some things in the UI that they didn’t like. It gives “normies” a shiver.In 2015, months before Windows 10 was released many users were running the preview versions of the OS that Microsoft had made available to anyone and everyone interested in testing them out. While it’s “ease” and possibility of customisation is a dream fir you and me. And that us what’s holding back the long proclaimed “Year of the Linux desktop”.

We like digging_ into dot/rc files.īut with it comes fragmentation. Of course all of this is out of the question for tech savy people like us. With no customization comes also no irritation. Think about nurses who got a little introduction into Office and shall deal with ( the admittedly much less anoying non ribbon interface of) LibreOffice, just because the new workplace deals that way. The thing is that Windows is the OS driving most of the machines out there which have to be operated by people who’s core job isn’t related to computers at all. Recent versions ( and so the devs) of Microsoft’s OS are certainly aware of the display sizes they are dealing with. Yet, there are some points…Īll of the following is not written in the sense of an OS war or shall give thirdparty the opportunity to turn it in such thing.
