Colorize the Windows 10 inactive title bar with this handy HTA

When Microsoft first released windows 7 professional , the only color for that title bar was white. Not just was that frustrating for the mere fact that we've been able to alter the color of title bars ever since Windows 3.x, but having only white title bars managed to get hard to distinguish between active and inactive windows.

However, as I described in the article Windows 10's white title bars may soon be history using the return of the Windows Insider Program, which published in August 2015, Microsoft was at that time touting the return of title bar colors in Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 10525.

In November 2015, Microsoft released a substantial update towards the cheap office 2016 professional plus operating-system, which, amongst other things, included the capability to set the color from the active title bar. I described the new feature in the article The Windows 10 November Update: A look at the smaller details. Being able to once again set the color of active title bars made it easier to distinguish between active and inactive windows however it could have been nice to create the colour of inactive title bars as with the past.

Recently i learned that you are able to indeed set the color of inactive title bars using registry hacks. As the registry hacks work perfectly, I wasn't satisfied. So coming fresh from the revival of my cheap windows 8 applications (HTAs) for changing Windows 10 screen savers, I decided to produce a new HTA for setting the color of the inactive title bar.
