The debate of the missing "Advanced Appearance Settings" from Windows 10 was first debated by the community on the February 24th 2015. This complaint led to an ongoing controversy of unfairness that Microsoft has reduced to customization abilities in the Personalization Settings. Users used the Advanced Appearance Settings dialog box to customize many colors and font attributes for many sub-features and elements in Windows 95 all the way up to Windows 7. Unexpectedly, Microsoft decided to remove the Advanced Appearance Settings dialog box in Windows 8, 8.1, and it was never added back into Windows 10 after a massive complaint outraged on the Microsoft Community. The original complaint was made by DolphinaShamrock in 2015 here: Windows 10: Advance appearance settings?
It has been five years since Windows 10 was first released and since all that time that passed by, Microsoft never added back the Advanced Appearance Settings dialog box that enables users to customize highlighting colors and fonts of desktop icons, Active and Inactive title bar colors, application background and many more sub-features that were customizable in the past during the time between Windows 95 and Windows 7. This is a great loss of a very important feature that theme designers like me request. This is the dialog box in question that I requested so many times:
Advanced Appearance Settings - Dialog Box:
During the last couple years, I have requested Microsoft of the Microsoft Community, Live Chat Agents and the Windows 10 Feedback Hub, and asked them to put back the Advanced Appearance Settings dialog box back into Windows 10. Yesterday, I even requested that dialog box on the Microsoft Forum page. I am just spreading the word as much as possible so that I can get my voice heard.
For users that are not familiar with the Advanced Appearance Settings dialog box, here is the link to a tutorial that displayed information on how this dialog box does and how to use it. The link is on a Vista Forum here: Advanced Appearance
My name is Cesare Vesdani and I am a Windows 10 themes designer that likes to create fully customized themes for Windows 10. Unfortunately, I am really missing the Advanced Appearance Settings dialog box for making advanced color and fonts customization. The reason why this dialog box is named as "Advanced" is because it has many powerful advanced color and font customization abilities.
Without the Advanced Appearance Settings dialog box, theme designers would be in great trouble when creating fully customized themes because they would find out that many areas of the Windows 10's interface is no longer customizable due to the lack of the Advanced Appearance Settings dialog box that is missing in Windows 10.
Even when making a registry tweak to customize the colors of title bars is still a problem because the customization does not get stored in the .deskthemepack file when saving or sharing the theme file on another computer. Theme files in Windows 10 (.deskthemepack) now lacks the ability to save all color and font customization so users making fully customized themes in Windows 10 finds out that many customized settings do get left behind and not included in theme files when saving or sharing themes on other computers. That is a big problem that Microsoft needs to fix when they add back the Advanced Appearance Settings dialog box into the next build of Windows 10. This coming April 2020, when the 20H1 build of Windows 10 is rolled out as a public release of a newer and better Windows 10 update, theme designers like me hopes that Microsoft will finally agree with users request on the Advanced Appearance Settings dialog box that its going to be added back permanently in Windows 10 as an integrated feature.
This is an URGENT request that me and many other people are asking for Microsoft to add back to Windows 10. The (Advanced Appearance Settings) dialog box, played a major important role in customizing Windows and creating themes in many previous Windows generations. I am not kidding here. Many people are begging to Microsoft to add back that missing feature in Windows 10.
Please add back the Advanced Appearance Settings dialog box so that all Windows 10 users can enjoy a much better experience when customizing Windows 10 and creating themes to share on other computers.
Thank you.
