I know some people like it and some don't, but having the title bars in aero when certain apps are maxed looks messy - Lightroom and Photoshop are 2 examples.
I know MS changed it from the beta as a lot of people asked, but is there any way of hacking this so that it is back to a solid colour when maxed?
It should be made an option by MS.
Thanks but that affects all windows, not just maxed ones.
In the beta, maximised windows were solid black, which works much better in apps like Photoshop or Lightroom.
There must be a way of doing this.
Thanks, looks pretty useful. Sorry to ask such a dumb question, but how do I get it to work?
I've clicked on it and it takes me to 'Color and Appearance' but I can't see how to go any further!!!
i think its a custom msstyles... maybe you have to patch your uxtheme files for that one
I'm afraid that means nothing to me!! Sorry for the ignorance on this. Never had to deal with themes before.
