Images online show that Windows 8 still had colored title bars, so it must have gone white in Windows 10. I do wish we have a way to get back colored title bars, since I find myself confused about what Window is active in a multi-monitor world.

Depends on exactly which window, doesn't it? For example, the main Outlook window on my work Windows 10 PC has a blue title bar, but the pop-up-and-hover appointment reminder's is white. Don't think I ever used Outlook on Win 8, but I could well imagine it was the same.

And so on for a lot of other apps.
