Color of Top bar

Hello

 

I have the top bar which is blue,
 
 
But in the background it is black (window in the background)
 
 
May it stay in blue (like other Windows apps in background) ?
 
Thanks

    Here is my Windows color settings:

     

     

    Compare it with your settings.

    Is your Windows 10 updated to the latest version?

      Thanks for your help

       

      Here are my settings (1903) :

       

      and I "look" with the window in full screen (small button at the top right, next to the cross)

      • Seems fine so far,

    Hi,

    Do you have this no matter what sites?  What happens if you choose certain (other) OS Accent colours?  I can only show what mine does... the 'active' or top page is a more intense hue of the same colour showing on 'background' windows... but, those top bar are of a less intense hue.  You can see, mine are not going from the colour to black.



    NB: That top bar colour is, infact, determined by the OS Accent colour you have picked to use.

    Cheers,
    Drew

      Drew1903 With any apps, the active and inactive window are blue, except for the non-active Edge Chromium window which is black

      Not tested with other colors

       

      And I test with, for example the Edge window in the background by opening a explorer window (or the start menu)

        Maybe, I mixing up jargon or terms are confusing this... The pic I showed was browser windows... and then there are, also, app windows.  Again, the browser title bar colour CAN be set & is determined by what OS Accent colour is used & if show on title bars is selected.  Anyway, here is another shot near what you described with an IE window front & centre, a couple of Edge C windows behind and a Pictures 'folder' window & the Mail app.  It's not restricted to blue & black.  Nor as you see does THE colour change except for its intensity (on the browser windows). The pics window & Mail are dark because the OS is set to Dark.  I don't know if any of this speaks to your concern or not, but, trying, at least.


        Pretty funky clock, too, eh? 



        Cheers,
        Drew

      v-gapart Thanks so much

       

      For this browser to be perfect, I just miss a favorite button (and menu) like IE and current Microsoft Edge

        Hi 'T',

        We are with the understanding that all those Edge features are coming; not, necessarily all at once, though.  But, we are told all will be in by the time Edge C is released.  There is a bunch of (same) stuff that continues to be mentioned & apparently it all be in at some point.  Reckon once everything IS there, the combined smiles could wrap the equator 😁  The things are pointed out to the Team quite frequently... including, many new Folks to Edge C & the Forum.  So, it will continue to be put forth until each thing is there.  Most of these things are not listed under "Coming soon"... seems we are to 'know' they will come.  Fortunately we've have some fairly candid & reliable (other) info telling us the items will be included.

        Cheers,
        Drew
