Windows 10 permits us to select a color for taskbar, title bar, start menu, selection box and other areas by choosing an accent color to personalize the application.
Unlike Windows 7 and previous Operating System versions, Windows 10 doesn’t have the option to set a color for menu, button text, and windows frame. If you want to change the color of these applications, you need to do it manually.
You can override the default settings and adjust the color. You can also turn the shadow on and off as per your requirement.
