[Question] - Anyone know the reg key/value for changing the title bar

The text that is white when you have color scheme Default (blue) and black when you use the color scheme Silver. Thank you.

Ok for me it is:

[HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-746137067-1383384898-1801674531-1004\Control Panel\Colors]

and value "TitleText"="RGB number"

so "255 255 255" makes the text white and "0 0 0" makes the text black.

OK, so new question...how do I make that "active" without rebooting? Restarting explorer.exe doesent work. Restarting the theme service doesent do it either. A full reboot does, so does anyone know how to push this through without a full reboot?

If you want to fix this value and doesn't want windows to reset the value, you can apply Read only (for SYSTEM) permission on that key.

This is on machines that are ghosted everyday. I want to apply this in "real time" without having to restart. The method you mention would still require a reboot to get it set...yes???

you should just be able to restart explorer.exe and it will be changed

[straytoasters]

Yeah, you would think so...but no. I just tried it again with no change. If it works for someone, please prove me wrong. I have tried this on domain and not domain computers. Again...full restart and the title bar text is the changed color, but just explorer.exe restart...no.

[straytoasters]

Maybe I should ask this differently...Does anyone know the service/process that is invoked/restarted when you apply a different theme. When you go from blue to silver theme the title text is changed and that is I think what I need. Or if anyone can tell me how to make a theme change from a bat or reg that might work too.
