Title Bar Text White Markup

Hello guys!

Please someone can tell me what is this and eventually how can i get ride of it?
i personally never seen this before.



It's happening everytime i apply a 3rd party theme (coloured and dark/black themes mostly from DeviantArt)
But this is happening with applications only, not on the Explorer window which is correctly skinned.
i have tried different themes and blank font registry hack with no avail

Project : Win10PESE
Builder : WinBuilder
Source : Issue occured on Windows 10 Build 1709, 1803 & 1809

Not sure about 3rd party applications... but if you download Win10PESE and use Utils>Update Win10PESE (Exact and Secure)

-->AND ALSO<--

UNcheck the checkbox for "Perserve Plugin Settings"

You will get the new default build w/settings (Which includes a Dark theme turned on by default especially for the RS5 release - This is more than just the explorer.exe default theme.. However it only enables the extra parts of the theme if Shell>Explorer>Dark theme AND Build>Themes>Theme 0 - are selected...these are the new default settings for this particular release of the project, so you can take a look by using the above instructions)

CAUTION: Don't do this with your main builder as it will obviously overwrite your settings, try it in a new seperate build first if you are only trying to preview (use admin script too to get the full effect)

Thanks @Bob, but this didn't resolved the issue with 3rd party themes

Give some info to reproduce this. It does not happens here using the Themes plugin.

i just use "Custom Aero Theme" as shown in the screenshot below
It's not visible on white themes obviously, so better to provide a dark theme to reproduce it



Thanks in advance @JFX!

Need to ask a dumb question - what is the "Custom Theme" ??
As you are to put your custom " aero.msstyles " theme Here...

So find out what is in Here Box

What happens if you run this reg file inside the WinPE?

Code: [Select]

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Dwm]
"AccentColor"=dword:ff404040
"AccentColorInactive"=dword:ff404040
"ColorPrevalence"=dword:00000001

Sorry guys! My mistake!
i should have posted an example.

in facts, i've tried many themes, including coloured ones and dark ones (always the same issue on all Windows 10 builds - 1709, 1803, 1809)

Here is a link to one of them specifically created for RS5:

Note: the markup is not always white but it's following the AccentColor preference



@JFX : Thanks but this has no effect on it (or i did something wrong!)

Well, i looks like on your screen shot here. Than I import the regfile and it looks like this.

Thanks @JFX!

i've got the same result here :



But it's still there (even in your screenshot) despite it's not immediately visible with this particular theme

It is more visible here when using a darker theme


So i suppose those registry values should be adapted according to the theme used

Thanks again @JFX!

Adapted values for the darker theme :

Code: [Select]

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Dwm]
"AccentColor"=dword:ff272727
"AccentColorInactive"=dword:ff272727
"ColorPrevalence"=dword:00000001

Resulted effect is perfect!


Thanks a lot @JFX!
