Turn On or Off Show Accent Color on Title Bars and Windows Borders - ElevenForumTutorials


Denis



It's really worth making time to browse through the ElevenForum Tutorial index - there's a shortcut to it at the top of every ElevenForum page [within the Tutorials dropdown list].
- At the foot of the ElevenForum Tutorial index is a shortcut to download it as a spreadsheet.
- I download a new copy each month.
- By downloading it as a spreadsheet I can benefit from Excel's excellent filtering capabilities when I search for topics of interest.
- ElevenForum tutorials are also listed at Tutorials and there's a shortcut to that at the top of every page.

You can search ElevenForum using the search box in the top-right corner of all ElevenForum webpages or using Advanced Search - ElevenForum
You can also search ElevenForum threads in many general search engines, such as Google, by adding site:elevenforum.com after your search term. For example,
Taskbar setup site:elevenforum.com

Hi, yes, start there, then turn to e.g. Winaero Tweaker to set a colour for inactive titlebars. "IInactive Title Bars Color"

Then if you want translucency etc for titlebars and borders (althought the borders by default are very thin so you won't see that), get a copy of DWMBlurglass and 'install' (which you can do with nirsofer's wininstall utility as it comes in a zip file) and play with its settings.
