I know that there are themes and tools out there to do this already, but as your great app is called "Classic Shell", why not provide an option to set the title bar of windows to the accent color (deactivated) and the transparent (darker) accent color (activated). You already manipulate the explorer title bar and thus we would only need one app to get the classic look and feel and not dozends ;).

That is because it can only be done by using a custom theme. Microsoft went out of their way to lock down and prevent the use of third party themes and also locked down the title bar to white in Windows 10. Maybe this will help:

This sounds like a possible solution, but can something like this be include into Classic Shell? As I said, I don't want to install dozends of themes or tools to get a classic look, it would be great if Classic Shell could do all of it :)! I mean that is what it's name implies and it offers so many different themes for the start menu alread.

Update: I checked out the suggested theme, but it sometimes looks worse because now it's visible how MS messed the configuration and other windows up by missing the top ;). I tried Winareo Tweaker that can add title bar colors by other means, so could something like this be included into Classic Shell?
