After upgrading many Windows/7 Pro SP1 systems to Windows 10 Pro 1903 (both 32 and 64-bit systems), I was pleased to see the nice dark blue Title Bar and Borders on my new Windows 10 Desktops (9 upgrades so far). But when I updated a Windows 8.1 Pro system successfully to Windows 10 Pro x64 Feature 1903 this week, the familiar dark blue Title bar and thick borders were gone and replaced with the Windows 8.1 style of application panels with nearly non-existent borders! I used search engines to look for an answer without success, until I found a Shawn Brink posting regarding the aerolite.msstyle which is shipped with Windows 10 Pro. The aerolite.msstyle file was referenced in my Custom.theme files from the Windows 7 Pro upgrades. The MISTAKE I kept making was to copy the Custom.theme file from other "Windows 7 Pro to Windows 10 Pro" upgrade systems into:
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Themes subdirectory
and then typing "Custom.theme" on the Command line. DO NOT DO THAT !!!!
Copy the Custom.theme file to C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Downloads, change directory to that subdirectory, and THEN type Custom.theme at the Command Prompt to signal Windows 10 Pro to apply this theme file! I found that further manipulation using the Personalization - > Themes settings was NOT fruitful for my needs, so I stayed out of that Settings panel.
The first line of this Custom theme file is: ; Copyright - Microsoft Corp.
so unless a Microsoft Moderator allows it, I will not be able to add the file content to this forum entry
I will say that under the [Visual Styles] section that the Path= parameter specifies the
C:\Windows\Resources\themes\Aero\AeroLite.msstyles reference using the Environment Variable for System Root.
I hope this helps and saves someone valuable TIME.
