Highlight active window by colour AND show window borders - possible?
Win 10 Pro 21H1, 19043.1348
I have tried the Aerolite.theme (thank you @Brink) and also the tutorial 32118 (ditto), How to Change Color of Inactive Title Bar in Windows 10.
Aerolite.theme gives a sensible border width but I have not been able to then also apply Inactive Title Bar colour. Tutorial 32118 works with the standard Windows theme but not with Aerolite : with theme = Aerolite, AccentColorInactive sets an inactive MS Edge title bar colour to the value chosen but has no effect on other open windows, which all retain the same Title Bar colour, with change of text colour if active or not.
I have tried changing the values of HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics\Borderwidth & PaddedBorderWidth but as mentioned elsewhere on Ten Forums those no longer work. Interestingly, changing those does change the width of the rectangle border seen when dragging windows (I have show window contents while dragging 'off'), so the border widths are stored but I am unable to make them visible in normal use.
I even tried Winaero Tweaker on the standard Windows Theme but as expected, no luck.
Has anyone managed this please?
In case it is relevant, Brink's last updates on those two tutorials were Oct '19 & Apr '21 - Windows Updates may well have changed things (again) since then. This is in no way a complaint - it must be a mammoth task trying to keep tutorials 'current' and we all thank Brink sincerely for his work.
Aside, still very much a novice on posts - was not sure whether to Reply on an existing thread (not knowing if it would be seen) or post a new thread (so here it is). Any advice on which is better would be welcomed, thanks.
