3rd party app for "classic" look in win10?

[Newbian]

Its not really a 'phobia', more a case of liking good design and disliking bad design. In terms of usability, Windows 10's GUI isn't very good.

For example, the lack of borders and coloured title bars makes noticably harder to work out where windows begin and end. I'm starting to find that a complete pain, constantly having to stop for a fraction of a second to work out if that's another window on top or if its part of the underlying one.

It's just objectively inferior to windows 7, no 'phobia' involved. Maybe not as much as 8, but its still obviously a touch-screen/smart-phone interface.

I actually used classic shell with 7, but using it with 10 would just emphasize how bad the rest of the interface is - its the absurd washed-out white-on-white, near-borderless windows that are the bigger problem, rather than the just-about-tolerable start menu.

At some point I think I might just revert to 7, though it would be a shame to lose the under-the-hood improvements.

You can enable the title bar colors under accent colors under settings - personalization - colors.

Once you do that all windows should have the normal top color bars like it used to.
