How did you make the taskbar dark/black, while keeping the windows white?

Set the window borders to black (full black, with the color mixer) then open regedit and change this from 1 to 0:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM\EnableWindowColorization

Now open Task Manager and end task to Desktop Window Manager.

It should restart by it's self and your taskbar should be whatever colour you set the window borders to, while the window borders should be white.

Keep in mind that after changing this, if you go back and select a different taskbar color, then it will revert back to having the same color for window borders. Choose your desired taskbar color first, then apply the registry changes.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files

      By excalpius · Posted

      Microsoft, why can't I just turn off Copilot on my MS account (in order to stop OneDrive from wanting to summarize everything, ahem) in a way that doesn't break OneNote instead?

      If we can't agree on a baseline of reality then there is no point in talking. Its a waste of time.
