    Advanced Display Options: Title Bar Color


    I can't find the "Advanced" choice under Display: I want to change the
    • Active Title Bar color
    • Inactive Title Bar color
    • window color
    • text color
    • desktop background color
    • Message Box color
    etc
    Where's "Advanced"?

    (I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium, Service Pack 1)

    Hi, beau. Welcome to the forum.

    In Personalization (Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Personalization), click Window Color and then click Advanced appearance settings…

    Alternatively, you can enter the following command in the Run dialog box, which can be opened in the Start Menu or by pressing Win+R.

    rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL desk.cpl,,5
