I agree, that for some apps this a desired behaviour, however if you look at apps that manage the border themself, for example Outlook, Visual Studio, VS Code or Spotify, you will notice that none of them behave that way.
All of those app preserve the colors even when they are not focused.
The question now is if XLC should change it or not, however I think that it is not unusal for an app to behave that way and not change the color of the title.

@chingucoding @stmoy When is that ever a desired behaviour???

Oh and the title bar caption buttons are invisible! White on a white title bar.

I'll close this as it no longer applies to the current version of the XCG.

@gregwoo-microsoft I'm still seeing this issue.

Could you please post a screenshot? :)

This seems to only occur in Windows 10. I can't repro this in Windows 11.

I can still see the bug in your video... @gregwoo-microsoft

[gregwoo-microsoft]

My bad, I had misunderstood your issue as "Title bar" not the actual title itself. You are right, the title does not currently change when the XCG is inactive. What I meant to say with the video was that there is an active/inactive difference with the top right buttons of the window (light grey when inactive and darker grey when active).

Thanks for filing this issue @Poopooracoocoo, I'll reopen it now. Please keep in mind though that this is not a top priority right now.

You're referring to #653 which relates to the caption buttons.

[gregwoo-microsoft]

Thanks! I've closed #653 but I'll leave this one open since I can repro it.
