After you apply the theme, Windows should look like this:Ĭontext Menus and Metro UI apps are also affected: You'll need to switch to a High Contrast theme for this to work. I haven't tested this solution thoroughly but it seems to do the job. Is this simply a MS bug? Or is there a better answer/solution?Īpologies for the late answer. My conclusion is that the reg hack "works" but only intermittently. UPDATE: I rebooted again and the bg colors work correctly.but later in the day all the window bgcolors were back to white again. I am using Windows 10 Enterprise Version 1511 Build 10586.3. Important: In Settings -> Personalization -> Colors, none of that changes windows backgrounds. I really hate Microsoft right now, but that aside, is there any solid way to change windows 10 bg colors and make it stick? After every reboot thereafter, all the white backgrounds are back AND YET those registry keys still have my custom RGB codes.
When I changed those keys to my chosen soothing color and rebooted, it worked ONE TIME. The only way I have found to be able to do this is to tweak the following registry keys: I remember reading that the feature would be coming back in Windows 10, but I'm not finding this to be the case. There were some reg hacks, but nothing standard. Then the geniuses at M$ decided that this feature was no longer needed in Windows 8, and removed it. So for example it worked great in Notepad and many other apps. Once changed, ALL windows of all apps would conform to the custom color as long as the apps allowed the windows bg to be invoked. Staring at white window backgrounds all day is hard on the eyes.
In Windows 7 and Windows XP it was very easy to change the default background color of all windows to whatever you want.
