How do I change active window color on high contrast mode in Windows 11?

Hello, I'm Filipe and I'm an independent Community Advisor, and I'll do my best to help you.

Indeed there is!

You can change the color of the active window in high contrast mode on Windows 11 by following these steps:

Step 1: Click on the Windows icon in the taskbar to open the Start menu.

Step 2: Click on the gear icon to open the Settings app.

Step 3: Click on "Accessibility" from the left-hand menu.

Step 4: Scroll down and click on "High contrast."

Step 5: Click on "High contrast settings."

Step 6: Click on "Colors."

Step 7: Under "Choose your color," click on the drop-down menu next to "Selected Text."

Step 8: Select the color that you want to use for the active window.

Step 9: Click on "Apply."

Step 10: Click on "Save" to save your changes.

After following these steps, the active window color should be changed to the color that you selected. Note that some apps may not fully support high contrast mode and may not display the colors that you selected. In such cases, you may need to adjust the color settings within the app itself.

Let me know if this helps!

Thanks!

high contrast problem

What type of Monitor are you using ?

As we don`t know i can only offer some suggestions.

• Make sure its set at True Color ( 32 Bit ) in the Control Panels Display settings.

Go to Start Menu.

Type in Display and select it from the drop down.

In the right hand pane select Change Display Settings and open it.

Click the blue link called Advanced settings.

Click the Tab called Monitor to make sure its set to True Color 32 bit.

• Try using the Monitors Function Buttons to change the Brightness and Contrast.

Try between the Natural / Warm @ Cool settings that most Monitors support within their function buttons.

• If using a installed Graphics Card make sure you have the Drivers Installed.

Some Graphics Cards support changing Brightness and Contrast in their Control Panel.

Still, i suggest you do this with the Monitors Function Buttons first to see if this sorts out the issue.

• You could also try the Windows 7 Calibrate Display Color.

Go to Start Menu.

Type in Calibrate display color and open it .

Click the Next Button down in the bottom right hand.

Follow its Instructions through to the end.

Hopefully this helps some what.
