    dark mode makes window title bars impossible to see


    Help. I've modified the registry and changed the windowmetrics, etc. The registry settings don't do anything to help you while you are hunting and pecking trying to find the top of the app window so you can move it, etc.This is craziness. How could anyone thing this was a good idea..? Please help as my only option is setting my screen to use bright spotlight colors themes. Odd colors don't work well and it's reached the point I hate sitting down at my computer.For the record, I'm not a noob. I've been on the internet years before the web was invented. Put togther 8088's and 80286 CPU computer

    :)

    Dark mode works.. except in my cmd/wsl title bar

    Pretty much title.. I set my windows 10 to dark mode.. And everything has black/dark title bars. But my cmd and ubuntu.exe have white title bars and it's really annoying.. I can't figure out why or how to fix this..

    Any ideas? Thanks!

    This is the first relevant result I get when searching for the problem.

    The issue is still a problem what can we do about it ?????

    Its a super annoying issue that needs addressing dark mode is pretty pointless if apps have a super bright blinding bar of white amongst all your dark-themed apps with black title bars.

    Using accent colour on your app title bars is not the solution.

    I don't know why nobody is talking about it, but the title bars (of everything except the explorer) remain white even with dark mode on. It looks ugly. I don't want to use black accents.
