Hello
I'm trying to do something very simple - change my title bar color because the default colors for Active and Inactive title bar are almost the same. So I changed the Active Title bar color but it doesn't actually apply to any of the windows. Please see the attached screenshot.

This is so frustrating :mad:

Thanks for your help

Hello Amitig, and welcome to Vista Forums.

I'm sorry, but changing the color for the Active Title Bar item will only work with the Windows Standard or Windows Classic color schemes. :(

Thanks for the reply Brink, you're absolutely right.

For all the fancy options Vista provides it's very strange that I can't do this.. What were they thinking when they designed Vista, its been so frustrating. :cry:

The same thing they were thinking when they disabled adding buttons like "delete", "new folder", "copy", "past" etc to explorer windows tool bars.

You're welcome Amitig. I'm not sure why they did not make it easier to customize either without having to go to Classic mode.
