Dark Themes Detail Needed

hard to see where window ends

from Stardock Forums

Remember way back when you could set the thickness of the boarder of a window and also its color? Is that still available with something in Obj Mgr? All the dark themes I've tried are very nice, but I can't see the edges clearly sometimes. I'd like a nice thin, bright light border on dark windows.

Any ideas? Thanks!

WB theme has its Frame set it own specific size, graphics and shadows by its author/designer. It can't be change via setting or anything like that. Need to adjust it by adding your own border graphics in SkinStudios.

You can try WindowsFX, it have the active windows pop while the inactive windows darken/fade out/semi-Transparent

Well, the program ran, I made a bunch of changes, but on the home page the off/on switch will NOT stay on; I slide it, it says on, then a couple of seconds it slides to OFF!

Have you try rebooting?

just to follow up, I uninstalled everything Stardock and ran for a few weeks that way. After last W10 update, I reinstalled everything. In between I had a problem, in that the few icons I have on my desktop were divided between my two monitors. After reinstalling, I still had the split, so I dragged them all into new fences. With each new boot, additional icons keep showing up. I keep dragging them into a fence. Other than that, Object Desktop seems to be running quietly.

Thanks.
