Windows 10 strange behavior of title bar

Question

I'm facing strange issue on Windows 10. Same application behaves different on same windows version - the difference is seen at title bar appearance:

Above is normal, expected (at least by me) behavior - all three buttons are in the right corner, the application logo and title in the top-left. Under certain circumstances (which I can't find and thus need your help) the same application title bar looks like this:

The three buttons take all the length of title bar and centered in it, title bar's height is 30 pixels longer, application logo is top-right and application title disappears at all.

The question is what windows 10 setting(if any) causes such difference for same application? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You can use this Registry tweak from winaero.com:

1. Press +R and in the box that pops ups type regedit.

   Note: Extreme caution is advised when using the Registry Editor.

2. Once you are in Registry Editor go to the key:

   HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics
   

3. Click on the string value named CaptionHeight and set its value using the following formula:

   -15 * The desired amount of height you want
   

   For example, if you want to set the bar height to 18 pixels you would change it to -15*18 = -270.

   

4. Sign out and then back into your account to make the change take effect.
