active window

I hate the light theme in 10. My apps look anaemic ! In previous versions of Windows various elements of app windows could be changed. e.g change the colour of the active window title bar. Is there any way to do this in 10 ? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

hello, I need the simplest way to check if a file explorer window is active and move the selected files/folders in there to a specified temp folder. Any programming/scripting language will be fine. thanks.

Win7 has a about 50-75 problems, yet instead of MS spending time fixing it, they made an even worse OS (win8). MS trolling us? ....Why is it so hard for win7 to open up applications in the active window? Its the window im using, its the window that launched the app, yet MS feels the need to...

hi, i seem to have a problem with my computer deselecting my active window and normally i wouldn't care but it happens like every minute or so. i can't even type this without interruption. i've looked at my processes in task manager, and the only difference i see is that it will have svchost...

If I have 2 or more windows open (Windows Explorer or any other application), the most active window always seems to switch to the right on the task bar in the grouping order, is there any way to stop this??? I keep having to relaunch to keeping the keep the applications in the order I want on...

When I went to my computer this morning the color of the background on the active window ( I believe that is what it is called ) had been changed from an egg shell color to a seafoam (?) green color. Not only that but the active icon that were in the right hand side of the taskbar were gone. It...

In windows 7 there is a glaze on the active window, but in a cruel joke by MS, every other window also has a glaze (just a bit less). Note: My taskbar is using the old style from Win XP. How do I fix this? Ive tried playing with the themes, and at best I can make the active window look more...

i hope i am asking the right question.... on my laptop, i can plugin my lcd tv and dual screen. i setup a video game to load on screen 2 (the lcd tv) and the desktop stays on screen 1. when i went to play the game on screen 2, and actively used the mouse on screen 1, i lost control of the...

I've seen a few people with personalization issues, but none that are the same as mine. In my case, I'm trying to change the size of the "active title bar" from 40 point to 24 point. When I save the change, no problem. When I reboot, no problem. When I reboot a second time, it's back to 40...

After the first launch of an Excel document, if I perform a File/Save, the active Excel window drops behind another opened app window. Will not behave this way on subsequent saves, only the initial. Strange. Any ideas? This is new behavior since the upgrade from XP.

I am having problems with Windows 7 Home Premium where it seems that the entire screen looks the same but I can't click on anything. It isn't frozen up it is acting as if it is not the active program even though it is. It will happen in any program. Once this happens I also can't click the start...

Hello, I hope you are doing well. By default, when I use ALT+TAB to go between windows, if I pause on another icon for about a second, the other window becomes the active one (so that I can preview what's on that window). Is there a way to disable this? Thanks, Vic

After installing from xp, i was installing up until the restart after completion of installation. then it starts up as if windows would normally start up, but then the screen turns black. I still have a mouse though, so I toyed with it a little and pushed 'alt tab' and then 'alt down down...

Hello, I have this issue with some programs, but at this one really much, and I was wondering if you know a solution. The program is 3ds max 9. A description of the problems: old screens that are moved, and then closed or minimized; stay in the current view, even with 3ds Max only active...

Ok I know it's too late but is there a thread for a wish list? I wish Microsoft would change windows in a way that my active window remains my active window no matter what's happening in other applications. Much like UNIX does. I hate it when I'm typing away in word, a pop up appears for...

I paid for version 6 years back, then upgraded to version 9. Now my friend Ashraf has located a free older version with a free registry key after inputting you email address. They then send the key through email. This is the best screen Capture program I have ever used, by far. It can...

I have tried and tried but I can't get it to work. I want to take the red outlined fonts in this pic And change them the red outlined fonts in this pic. I am 99% sure that changing the Active title bar would work, but it's not. Any pointers?
