Windows 10 build 10162 Released

I don't think its possible to create and customize a high contrast theme. I mean having color on the title bar should not be a difficult request, don't know what Microsoft was thinking. Maybe Edwin can help out?

It is possible but it doesn't look as nice as it used to.

Downloading it too, started at 11 Mbps but slowed down quite a bit. Surprised it showed up in this neck of woods so soon.

How's this for a July 4th treat?....Out of the blue my ISP decided to ~ triple my max bandwidth for free, so instead of my former 4MB/s+ down & up, I am now cooking with gas @ 11+ MB/s d&u...! I luv Gb routers...! Didn't really ever think I'd see the day when I could actually use all of that 100Mbps EWAN bandwidth..!

i totally agree with you. i have put it on the feedback form many, many times. not only color for the title bars, but also transparency. why they would have removed these functions is something i just don't understand. it is very difficult to tell the active title bar from the inactive ones. especially when you have a lot of windows up, and i usually do. keep asking, and i will also.

Yes sir, I have been doing that religiously. lol. I even have been adding reputation to the ones submitted. I also did a search for color title bar and found one with 936 requests to yes on that request. So I don't understand why they removed it. I mean in W7 it was perfect. Then in W8 they got rid of a lot of the features like resizing your caption buttons and scroll bars and such, and in 10 now its totally gone. Like why can't we customize the O/S to how we visually like it. Some people don't have amazing eyes. *sigh*

OMG, Edwin that looks so terrible there with all the little boxes and lines there . I have no idea what Microsoft is thinking. Also I have to ask you how did you get that left menu: Change the color of your Windows and Text? For me there is nothing there? I have 0 availability to change anything ..... how come I don't have this menu? I don't have access to change those options like you do ...

I just wanted the title bars to change colors with my theme, if I go blue everything can go blue and the ones in the background can be grey or whatever color they choose for that matter, just to distinguish active from inactive Window. It's very stupid to remove something as important as that. Since build 10058? Really Microsoft?

Wish me luck!



Hope to be back soon!

Edited:



Back! Quick, just like I like it!

they could send me a build every day and i'm all good with it. i was one of the first to upgrade this morning, and i haven't had any real problems to speak of. cortana was a little flaky at first, but that was settled with a restart. other than that, i have had no problems updating each time, my sound card and drivers work perfectly with each build, my people app works, store works with no funky discolored tile like some are reporting and everything is really fast.
to make sure you have easy upgrades, you just have to make very sure that allllllllllllll of your drivers are correct and up to date. do a restart of your system before upgrading and all should go very smoothly. i point this out because some are blaming the build or m$ for some problems, when most problems are with the persons system.

I have to disagree with you. You just happen to be lucky enough that all of your stuff happens to get along with MS' choice of drivers, so everything works well. I have two systems that I have been keeping up with the builds as they come. One, an older system with a Realtec sound works well. The other, that I described earlier, has a Conexant card or chip that doesn't like the MS choice of driver and settings. Each time a new build comes out, the existing working driver gets overwritten again by the one that does not work.

Wasn't there a build that removed the window borders and a build or two later they were back? Maybe it's there just in the preview and will be removed for RTM (lets hope).
