Also, you can customize the accent color and apply it to the Start menu and taskbar, and/or window title bars. With a simple Registry tweak, you can enable the black color for title bars only, and keep the current color of window frames (e.g. the default blue color).

Earlier Windows versions like Windows Vista or Windows 7 had very flexible appearance settings. Unlike the latest versions including Windows 10 and Windows 8, they allowed you to change desktop icon spacing, window border size, scrollbar width and a lot of other options which you can no longer modify. One such option is menu bar height for apps which have a menu bar. Increasing the height of the menu bar can be very useful if you use a touch screen device. Taller menus are much easier to tap with your finger. There is a Registry tweak which can serve as a workaround for such a case.
