For other programs being active the window bar color changes into my Windows 10 custom color.

Hello MedBooster,

The whole window colour changes when the Editor is the active window and when it is not - however the change is subtle and hard to notice with the default grey.
If you make it an 'extravagant' colour - it becomes more noticeable.

Active:

Inactive:

Kind regards,

ahh you're right, would have been nice with an option where it would only be colored if active.

Anyway, the "Window" color under "customize UI" only changes the window color of panels and panes it seems... how did you make the titlebar turn yellow?

Seems to be the "Face" color.

Oh, but the "Face"-color seems to change much more than just the titlebar. How about adding a separate color choice for just the titlebar?

Hello, MedBooster

I don't expect that will be implemented, but I will pass the idea along to our UI team for consideration.

Kind regards,

as well as the degree to which the color of a panel or window is darkened when activated, that would also be cool.
