Here’s a nice registry tweak to change inactive window title bar color in Windows 10.
The title bar in Windows refers to the top of every window that contains the title of the window you’ve opened, as the name suggests so. The Title bar in Windows 10 is definitely one of its major let downs as it resembles to an out of view window as well due to its light grey color. It definitely is no match with the beautiful Aero Glass and blur effect of Windows 7 which is quite stupendously, not included in Windows 10.
Just like you can tweak your Start menu in a lot of ways such as disable its transparency, make groups of apps in it etc. Similarly, Windows 10 allows you to do much more with your Title bar as well. Among the many customizations you can apply to it, some are to be able to reduce its size, view paths in it etc.
