    How to Make Window Minimise / Close / Resize Icons More Visible?


    My father finds it hard to see the window minimise /resize / close icons as shown below.

    Attachment 90657
    I've tried increasing the title bar size but this doesn't make much difference. The high contrast theme does provide more contrast for these icons but the rest of the display is too weird.

    How can I can configure these icons to display with more contrast? There must be registry tweak since they can be displayed in high contrast using the high contrast theme.

    Hi Steve C

    You could use the Keyboard, Windows Key + Down

    Hold the Windows Key down and tap Down on your Keyboard 1 time to reduce the window then tap Down again to minimise.

    Thanks for the keyboard shortcut but I would like to display the icons in high contrast. I hope someone on the forum rises to the challenge of solving this issue!

    This may or may not help as I have not tried it yet - go / Control Panel / Personlization / Display / Advanced display settings / Advanced sizing of text and other items / you can now change size of items (scaling level) ... note it says (not recommended)

    Thanks - the Aerolite theme is the solution I was looking for. The gold plated solution would be knowing what registry items to modify to enhance these icons.

    How do you set a white title bar when using the Aerolite Theme? I always seem to have a coloured title bar whatever "Choose a colour" settings I have under Personalisation.

    The Aerolite Theme does most of what I need but the text on the Taskbar is black rather than white. How do I get white Taskbar text using the Aerolite Theme?
