Customization :: Won't Allow Window Appearance Changes

Aug 9, 2015

I've spent hours installing and customizing Win 10, but can't find out how to set windows so they always open to the format and specifications I'd like.

For instance, in Win 7, I was able to change the Scroll Bar, Title Bar, Borders, Menu Fonts, Window Fonts, etc.

I'll try to attach/embed a JPG showing how a typical window looks in Win 7 on my laptop. I'm apparently not bright enough to figure out how to do this in Win 10 on my desktop.

Modifying Desktop Icons Appearance

Aug 10, 2015

I have a problem trying to figure out how to change my desktop icons appearance (changing the size of the icon, the icon spacing, etc.). Back in Windows 7, this was accomplished by right-clicking the desktop, selecting "Personalization", etc

However, I do not see this option in Windows 10. All I can do is change the font size of the icon, but that's not what I'm trying to accomplish. I'm trying to make it bigger, such that the title of the icon fits on 2 rows. Where is this located?

Customization :: How To Add Color To Active Window

Aug 7, 2015

Just got Win 10 and if I have many windows open there is no distinction between which are active and which aren't. Before the active window would have a colored toolbar at the top while the inactive windows would be colorless or white. I've went into settings, personalization and color...turned the first one off and the other two on then selected yellow but still the active windows aren't getting the yellow across the top to show they are active.

Customization :: Possible To Add Old Style Colored Border On A Window

Oct 27, 2015

Much as I like the new windows 10, I find if I have a few windows open and overlapped then it's far to easy to close the wrong window. And the reason is that the whole washed out white and no window borders mean one window looks like it's another window when overlapped.

What would be great is if I could get a blue (or whatever) border back on the window so that it'a much easier to see which window is which. Is it possible without any third party stuff?

Customization :: Window Focus Changes When Working On Multiple Monitors

Dec 31, 2015

I'm having some problems after my Windows upgrade from 7 to 10...

Basically, I'm working on a multiple monitor system. When I move my mouse around the screen, windows changes the focus from the window that I'm working in (a spreadsheet for example), and starts entering data in any window i mouse-over.

I found a partial solution in the following thread.....but this only disables the window popping-up (the focus still changes).

Customization :: Open Folder Window At Same Position Every Time

Aug 2, 2015

Whenever I open a folder and position it on desktop whereI want it to be, after closing and reopening it again, it repositions. With a few opening-closings I realized that every time I open the folder anew, it gets repositioned a bit lower, diagonally. This wasn't happening on Windows 8.1. Is there any way to keep the folder in the same position every time I open it?

Customization :: Different Window Bar Colours For Active And Inactive Windows?

Nov 26, 2015

I'm using the Aerolite theme. I would like to have a distinct difference in colour between active and inactive windows (i.e. the window border and the window bar). In Windows 7 I was able to set the active window colour to blue and the inactive windows' colour to grey (similar to Windows Classic). Is there a way to do that in Windows 10? Simply having a darker and a lighter shade of the same colour won't be good enough -- I'd like to have two distinct colours.

Customization :: While Video Playing In One Window All Other Windows And Background Turns Black And White

Jan 1, 2016

while playing video (using any software media player, movies & tv, internet explorer youtube, google chrome youtube, vlan), all other inactive windows (any other windows) turn blank and white. I have updated video drivers, did not make a difference. I have then uninstalled all video card driver and used only default windows drivers, played video with same result. Therefore, I am sure it is windows. Tonight while trying to watch the bowl games, I typically watch video and browse/study using IE/Chrome. This is pretty typical for me, but the browser windows turning black and white is getting really annoying.

Last, previously closed window outline remains displayed. Sometimes can 'force' it to go away by left clicking on an unused portion of desktop but not always.

Just got laptop for Christmas and has always had this problem so might be a setting.

Have looked at Advanced -> Visual Settings but didn't see any that looked like would fix (tried setting Best Performance - which turned everything off but didn't fix)

Express Zip Pop Up Window

Jan 20, 2016

When I right click on the windows icon, a menu comes up It starts with "Programs and Features" and ends with "Desktop". The menu includes Control Panel, Task Manager, etc. But if I try to access ANY of the items listed in the menu, I get a popup window from Express Plus Zip Files telling me that my free trial is over and offers a link to purchase the program. I don't know what this is or what to do about it!! I can't even look at the programs on my computer to try to uninstall express zip. Now my printer has suddenly stopped printing from my computer although I can copy on my printer. But I can't even look at my control panel or anything! I am so frustrated and really wish I had not installed windows 10.

Start Up Window Not Working

Aug 24, 2015

When I left click the start up icon I get a message: Critical Error, Start Up Window isn't functioning. Will try to fix when you re-start. The Error message prevents all other windows from opening. When I click the message, the system re-boots, but the Error continues.
If I do not left click the icon, everything works properly, and when I right click the icon, everything works too, including the shut down process, the searches, etc.

Window Old Directory In C Drive

Oct 24, 2015

After upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10 using the free upgrade program from MS, the old windows 7 installation has been moved a folder call Windows.old. I am not sure if this is for reverting back to Windows 7 in case Windows 10 installation fails or for some other reason.

However, this is folder is hogging a very large disk space ( around 36 GB) on my C: drive. Is there anyway we can remove this without affecting the current Windows 10 installation? Or it needs to be there to refer to some old data?

Note: After upgrade my Windows 10 installation was not very stable, hence I have done a clean installation of Windows 10 on my system.

Taskbar Minimized Window?

Nov 23, 2015

I have an issue which has been going on since beta win 10. If i have a minimized window open on the desk top I can not view it unless i minimize all other windows. It seems once my cursor crosses the top of the taskbar the window I am trying to get to closes, only way to get to it is to minimize all other windows and then I got get to it and then click on it? Same thing if I want to change the volume if I click on the taskbar the volume window will close once the cursor crosses the top of the taskbar? If i right click on the volume icon then I get the volume mixer and I am able to get to it to adjust? I keep thinking this is a bug that will get fixed, but never does.
