How to make Win10 title bar colorful

After Win10 preview version 10056, Windows10 title bar is unified into white, no longer have the theme color of the previous Win8/Win8.1 style. Many users feel that this setting is very boring and hopes to restore the previous colorful. In fact, it is not difficult to modify the current white settings, but before that, we need to explain the color distribution mechanism of the Win10 theme title bar.

In the uDWM.dll file, there is a mechanism for detecting whether the theme file name is aero.msstyles. Once the file name is aero.msstyles, the theme title bar will be set to white. . Therefore, in theory, as long as the above-mentioned name matching event is avoided, the title bar color will be restored to the previous colorful style.

Modify as follows:

1, enter C:\\Windows\\Resources\\Themes, find the aero folder, create a copy of the folder (copy it and paste it in the current themes folder) If there is a UAC prompt, select “Continue”

2, the file will be prompted during the copying process because the permission problem cannot be copied. At this time, check ““ perform this operation for all current projects” After that, click “Skip”

3, rename the copy folder, the name is arbitrary (not aero, this article is modified to ithome, the following need to modify the name of the location) Uniformly modified to the same name, excluding the suffix name), double-click to open

4, find the aero.msstyles file in the newly modified ithome folder, rename it to ithome.msstyles (match with the folder name) )

5, enter the zh-CN folder (to enter the folder matching the current system language, the English version generally enters the en-US folder), rename aero.msstyles.mui to Ithome.msstyles.mui (matches the folder name)

6, back to C:\\Windows\\Resources\\Them Es, copy aero.theme to the desktop, rename it to ithome.theme

7, right click on ithome.theme select “open method”, first click on the pop-up selection list “more applications ” (first choice may be needed), find “Notepad”, click and click “ OK”

8, find

Path at the end of the open file =%ResourceDir%\\Themes\\Aero\\Aero.msstyles

Save as follows:

Path=%ResourceDir%\\Themes\\ithome\\ithome.msstyles

9. Close Notepad and double-click the ithome.theme file you just modified. The new topic title bar can be changed with the theme color synchronization.

If you want to go back to the Win10 default title bar style, switch to any other default theme.
