    Firefox to use Windows 10 active/inactive title bar colors


    How do I go about forcing/telling Firefox to use the established Windows 10 active/inactive title bar colors. Is it done via chrome scripting... Need help... please be as detailed as possible.

    Hello Randy,

    If I use the default theme in Firefox, it uses the Windows 10 active/inactive title bar colors for me.

    FF Titie Bars


    Shawn--

    Thanks for the quick reply!

    I followed your response tutorial only to find that all FF window title bars are now grey, not my deep blue (active windows), and purple (inactive). Is there something else that I need to do?

    After testing, I see what you mean now. It appears Firefox will not change its inactive color from the default gray. The active color does change to whatever color you set in Windows 10 though.

    Fortunately it's ok with Aeroglass (3rd party utility providing transparency).

    Would the Aerolite theme have any effect?

    I beg your patience...

    Would you kindly elaborate on the use of the Aerolite theme? Please provide an example.

    Is that with the window inactive?

    Aerolite - tutorial from the Tutorial section:
    Install Aerolite Theme in Windows 10

    (I have no idea if that will help here- was hoping Brink might opine)

    Gentlemen--

    dalchina's Aerolite theme suggeastion filled the bill, but I prefer a darker shade of blue. Is there such a thing as a theme editor utility so that I can futz with the theme colors. Can a theme contain templates for both active, and inactive windows? Picky, aren't I?

    dalchina's suggestion also fixed a problem with the height of the FF title bars which mis-placed the terminate/restore down/minimize buttons...One had to 'feel' one's way around the upper-right of the window to select the action desired.

    I patiently await any/all responses!

    It does seem to respect this Registry Change to set your own Inactive Color however:
