Method 2: Editing Registry Settings
Those who have a personalization menu, but it does not fit the setting described above by the method, we recommend using the registry whose parameters can be changed so as to set another color to active and inactive windows. To do this, you will need to do only a few simple steps.
- Open the "Run" utility by holding the Win + R keys combination. In the Enter Regedit field and press ENTER to confirm the action.
- Go along the path of HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ DWM, where all the necessary keys are stored.
- There are several different parameters there, but not all need to be changed.
- First of all, you need a key called "ColorizationColor". Click on it twice with the left mouse button to open properties.
- Change the value to RGB to the color you want to highlight the windows. The color code itself can be easily found through Google search engine by entering the appropriate request.
- The following parameter is "ColorizationAfterGlow" - is responsible for the color of inactive windows, which also want to change some users. In this case, in the same way, click on the line twice and change the value.
Upon completion, you will need to restart the computer so that all changes come into force. The next time you enter the operating system, you must notice the difference. Look also to the "ColorizationAfterGlowBalance" and "ColorizationBLURBALANCE" and "ColorizationBlurBalance" parameters, if you want to control the saturation of the color or change the effect of its blur.
Method 3: Third Party Patches
The last option will be suitable for everyone, but especially users who have the possibility of internal configuration of personalization (elementary editions "Sevenki"). Special patches allow you to access third-party installation, many of which replace the standard color and windows interface.

The patch is successfully installed, which means that you can safely move on to the search for third-party topics.
