    How can I change the taskbar's "flashing orange" alert colour?


    Currently in Windows 10, no matter what "accent colour" you choose, the taskbar's flashing alert colour is a dull orange, like this:

    I find this very difficult to notice when I'm using the computer and as a result I miss a lot of notifications.

    I would like to change the flashing alert colour to a much brighter orange like it was in Windows 7 without changing to a high-contrast theme globally.

    Basically what I want is the equivalent of this tutorial for Windows 7, but for Windows 10.

    I'm not the only person with this request; I found several other posts on other forums and reddit which request the same thing. It would really improve the usability of Windows 10.

    Thanks.

    Unfortunately, you can't change the color. Some say that you can disable it, but there's a lot of comments that it doesn't work.

    Some changes are announced for feature update this year.. maybe this is one of them
