Question: Ahhhhhh I don't know if it is appropriate to ask this here. But I am really sick of that white title bar above in REAPER in Windows version. I know it's from Windows' side (because MacOS have black title bar in dark theme). Isn't there any way to make that white title bar to black? Like in many other software in Windows (even FOSS DAW like LMMS) has black title bar. Maybe it can be done in REAPER too somehow? REAPER looks so cool & attractive in MacOS dark theme, but Windows ruined it.

    Here's an AutoHotKey script that hides titlebars for various win32 apps, it's not ideal for Reaper b/c it additionally hides the menu bar, but maybe you'll find it useful anyway. pastebin.com/CGMYxKV5bound to Winkey+'

    Recently, windows 11 allows you to colour the title bar or whatever this is, which is nicer than not:

    Oh sorry for misunderstanding. I meant the toolbar, which is right below title bar. I have made title bar as black, which is finally a nice thing in Windows, but toolbar is still white. Toolbar is where File, Edit, View etc. is. That is always white in Windows no matter what theme and color you choose.

    Yeah, the only option currently (via the settings in Windows) is Contrast Themes, which are really not my cuppa tea... but shows it's at least possible to make it work, and perhaps one day .... maybe in Windows 12?

    But Contrast Themes have weird title bar colors, like one has yellow color or something. Very odd colour combination. That's why I don't use those. It's so easily doable, idk how Microsoft missed this little, but very important thing
