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.

Is not problem with the theme, problem is with firefox.

It's not a problem of this theme, the new firefox grey theme works only with the original windows 10 theme, any other theme makes firefox all white (except if you use a firefox theme, in this case the buttons stay white), to "fix" it try this:

Awesome as usual from you.Β Any chance to have your awesome 8/8.1 theme from 7 done for 10?Β I really like the colors of this, but sort of miss the borders and red close button from 8/8.1.

Many thanks!
I wated to go for an Aero Glass/windows 7 style theme, but none of these has been updated for the release version of Windows 10 yet, and Aero Glass for Windows 10 isn't ready yet either, so I really appreciate the possibility of coloring the white titlebars while I wait. And who knows, maybe I could get ued to this.

Just don't use 3rd party themes please.
π: 0 β©: 0
Could you make it work with Firefox? When using 3rd party theme Firefox starts to look odd. I tried renaming msstyles to aero.msstyles and changing name in .theme file to aero.msstyles, but then the color wont change.

What is your problem with firefox? Give me a screenshot.
π: 0 β©: 1
It's better if you run Firefox on your computer and see for your self. msstyles has to be called aero.msstyles or Firefox turn completely different. It's like this with all 3rd party themes and after I rename msstyles and change name in theme file Firefox looks normal. Please try andd see for yourself. Thanks. Great work by the way.

I know, I use firefox. Unfortunately that's the problem with firefox 40. Use own theme. You have some solutions on the net.
Thanks.

Thanks very much!That's whatΒ I want most in Windows 10 but as you know,Microsoft just don't listen to users.Thanks anyway!

Thank you so much - my Windows 10 machines are full of glorious colour again AND no more ugly grey boxes around text on inactive windows, which is what you get if you just tweak the default theme files.

Mare-m I told you already you need to be at Microsoft's UI Center. Full black version with white text and whiteΒ minimize, maximize and close.. When you got 5 mins thanks for the share.

Thank you very much. Can I suggest a white icons version (Just the minimize, maximize and close)? For dark colors. Thanks again.

Hello!
I love your active/inactive style! It's how it should be.
I tried to install UxStyle_0242_x86_x64_preview as your README.txt suggested, but "something's gone wrong". Is it possible that this does not work unless I have Windows 10 Technical Preview and not the final Windows 10 Home? I updated a few days ago. Your screencap says "Version 10.0 (Build 10240)". How can I view this on my computer? I pasted and applied the theme anyway but it didn't worked correctly.
I wish I can find a way around it.
Also, I'm a little disappointed that still no one has found a way to make the text and buttons minimize/max/close of the title bar white (like they are in the task bar) and the title bar itself a nice pure black!

You have theme with white text and caption buttons and title bar black. Just download theme again.
