In Windows 8, when I go into Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Personalization\Window Color and Appearance
the amount of control over window colors is greatly reduced as compared to Windows 7. The color controls do not allow you to make Window borders display in black.
Is there some other way to set the window border color in Windows 8?
Edit 1: Clearly the standard way does not work in Windows 8. The question is, is there another way? Perhaps through the registry for example?
Edit 2: I tried copying the values in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM
from my Win7 system to the Win8 system without success (killing the 2 DWM processes after each change - they are automatically restarted and do use the new values).
