The Windows 11 Explorer titlebar is always colored depression-gray

One of the most baffling aspects of modern Windows is that it's ridiculously hard to tell at a glance which window is active. It used to be that the active window's title bar was bright blue, and everything else was gray. These days, I have two 2560x1440 monitors, which was unimaginable back in the day, and regularly fail to identify which window is active.

Also, the modern Alt-Tab popup often takes two full seconds to appear on my machine. I can't even imagine how they managed that.

Oh, but it gets better than all the windows being the same color! Sometimes, even though the taskbar shows your window as active and you have the blinking cursor in a text area, typing won't type until you click that window!

Any window that is based on good old Win32 API title bar will have proper title bar accent color (ex: Run dialog) BUT the new generation of WinUI based windows wont have this coz it looks like they render their own "header bar" or something.

WinUI right now is so bad that even resizing the window show partial blank area that you can see before the whole area gets repainted again.
