Hi, this allows you to set any colour you want for many of those bright whitish areas MS wants us to stare at: given that MS took away the dialogues that allowed control of this, this (other than WindowBlinds- when avaiable) is the only way now available.
This example is a pale yellow. You can choose anything you like.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Colors]
"Window"="250 250 177"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\Colors]
"Window"="250 250 177"
Imagine Wordpad, Notepad, your editor, many dialogue boxes all being easier on the eye. I'd upload an image but this site requires a URL.
It DOESN'T work for explorer, control panel and a number of system dialogues.
Note that it needs script support to refresh it (by reapplying the theme it's saved with) after resuming from hibernation.
I used this successfully in Win 8.1 and now in Win 10. Together with a theme to give coloured title bars, borders (adjustable width with "Tiny Windows Borders" (again substituting for the dialogue MS removed) to adjust border padding, and Aeroglass, and white caption text, Win 10 is usable visually.
Oh, and substitute for explorer - Free Commander, XYplorerer.... that allow you to colour columns etc.
