Description
I use Windows 10 for several days. Like many others, I wanted the theme with colored title bar. I tried some already existing tricks but they didn't work very well. So I decided to make my own theme and of course I want to share it with you as always.I fixed and redesigned active and inactive window borders. Also I fixed some bugs that existed in the original theme.
I hope that you will enjoy in this theme.

Would it be possible to have the ability to set an accent colour on the black theme without changing the color of the titlebar from black? With the current accent color the tiles on my start menu are grey. Other than that, you did an incredible job. Great work!

It is possible! I found this: Windows 10 color control -> rammichael.com/getting-brighte…
Try it. It works good for me. - > i.imgur.com/40FVxOY.png

Not bad but in 10525 the inactive window has a box behind the caption text. Any way to fix this?

This is only for build 10240. I don't use 10525.

Bug report for the white text version. The File Explorer title bar text turns to black after resuming computer from sleep.

I know. I think it's not problem with the theme. It happens with all 3rd party themes. I'll see if something can be done.

This theme fails with Firefox 40: The caption buttons are white background and all the interface is buggy
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Firefox is a problem, not the theme. But already have solution for that on the net.

Firefox 40 with update 1 no have problems for me, but with update 2 yes. What is the solution to the problem?
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
I see you've already got one of the solutions. You have on the net a few more solutions.

Use these in Stylish Add-On for Firefox 40.x:
.titlebar-button {
opacity: 0 !important;
background: black !important;
}
#titlebar -close {
background: #e81123 !important;
}
.titlebar-button:not(#titlebar -close) > .toolbarbutton-icon {
opacity: 0 !important;
}
.titlebar-button:hover {
opacity: 0.1 !important;
}
#titlebar -close:hover {
opacity: 1 !important;
}
}
@-moz-document url(chrome://browser/content/browser.xul) {
Media (-moz-os-version: windows-win10) {
#main -window:not([customizing]){
-moz-appearance: -moz-win-glass !important;
background-color: transparent !important;
}
}
}

I think I've seen this before somewhere.

Indeed... however this theme is still helpful as the Microsoft solution (at least on 10525) does not allow / use white for the font color, so not as versatile.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes, MS solution is far from perfect as it is right now and hopefully this mod lives.

How about Windows 8.1 theme for Windows 10. I would really like to see that one. Thanks!

Those huge buttons on default Windows 10 theme are crazy.

Thank you, this is what I was searching for. Black theme is the best.
But there is a strange thing that happens with Thunderbird with all themes that make borders colorful:
i.imgur.com/x4Udsa0.png
Lines in all lists get smaller.
Also colors for links in whole system now 0000ff instead of 0b6cda. Any way to fix these little annoyances? At least colors, I've fixed Thunderbird manually.

Thanks. I'm glad you like it.
It's probably a problem with 3rd party themes, patcher or something similar. Windows 10 is very specific os.

Could you share the fix for Thunderbird please? Good for others that might encounter this issue.

Working very well, thank you! One question for you, can a Theme store a font size? what about title bar height? For me, the registry refuses to maintain the sizing I give for the title bar using Aerowin. If the theme stored it it might fix it! 
Also, I'm using UXStyle instead to patch the running system and works well so far!

You're welcome.
Unfortunately you can't change this on easy way in Windows 10.
I don't use UXStyle. I have some problems with him.

Now firefox changes the titlebar colors too! Thanks.

Great work! Was about to make a similar theme for myself with white fonts and caption buttons.
However, I do have 1 minor issue and that's the fading animation of the X caption button. It kinda flickers in the white theme.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Was also wondering if you could make the hover items for minimize and maximize a bit more brighter? Also, which software are you using to create this?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, couldn't wait so I made that change myself

No worries, it's easy to overlook! Is it fixable though?

I still don't see anything. Which theme patcher you use?
