    Increase Border thickness

    Hi

    How do I increase the border thickness of windows?

    And I did try with settings Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics\BorderWidth and \PaddedBorderWidth

    but that only changed the window Title thickness.

  3. Thick borders for CMD

    I was stuck at step 1 of option 1 because it was not clear which of the two to download ... so, none of them.

    - - - Updated - - -

    There's no folder like this on my Windows 10:
    %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Themes
    The "Themes" directory is missing


    edit: no winaero on my machine

    - - - Updated - - -

    I chose Aero_Lite_Theme.zip to download

    clicked on the aerolite.theme inside the zip file
    This one created the "Themes" folder & opened the setting screen

    In the "Colors" section I just picked a color
    and my CMD boxes have a thick border (in the chosen color)

    But a lot of other things change into that color as well - well, it could be worse

    Windows 10 how to get rid of thick colored borders!!!

    Hi,

    The width of the border in every window you open in your computer is normally very thin. Getting a thick border would somehow imply that the border settings have been changed.

    To change the Window border width, follow the steps below:

    • Right-click the Windows key and select Run.
    • In the Run field, type regedit, and click OK.
    • Click Yes if prompted by UAC.
    • In regedit, navigate to the location below.

      HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics
    5. In the right pane of WindowMetrics, double click PaddedBorderWidth to modify it.

    6. Type in a data value of 0 (zero) or between -1 to -1500, and click OK.

    7. Close regedit.

    8. Sign out and sign in with your user account to apply.

    Let us know if you need further help.

    Regards.
