Customizing Windows 8.1 Visual Styles
Hi there. I am seeking to customize some things about Windows 8.1 and it's look. What I'd like to be able to accomplish are the following:
* matching colours (preferably blue) for the active and inactive title bars (I don't mind if the inactive window is slightly lighter)
* Same colour (preferably blue) for all active and inactive close buttons
* retain the border width around the window
* shrink the width of the close button. I would like all close buttons to share the same width as the lone close button (like in "System Properties")
* left justify the window title (optional and not as necessary)
I found a couple themes that perform some of these items. One called "aeromod 2" has the colours I like, but whitens the borders, ala Windows 10 look. And I would like to shrink the width of the close button.
To illustrate, first here's a link to the visual style "aeromod 2":

And here's a mockup image I created to show how I'd like to change the close button:
Are there any themes that anyone knows of, that might accomplish my goals? Or does anyone know of a VS editor (I hope for free, since I'm only doing this once...) that I could use to remedy these issues myself?
I really appreciate everyone's input, and thank you for your help. Glad to be aboard the forums.
Cheers,
Jody
