Windows 11
I recently upgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 11 24H2.

In Windows 10, I used Winaero Tweaker to customize the font for "Window Title Bars". All title bars used the font I selected. It updates HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics.

In Windows 11, my title bar font is changed only in windows for Windows Explorer. If I open up another program (such as Firefox, or Computer Management in Control Panel), then the title bar doesn't use the font that I selected in Winaero Tweaker.

Is there a way in Windows 11 to customize the title bar font for the non-Windows Explorer windows?

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your help. I am using Winaero Tweaker to change the fonts. I just tried this test:

- Using Winaero Tweaker, I changed the font for "Window Title Bars" to be Lucida Handwriting.
- after rebooting, if I open up Windows Explorer, the titlebar font is using Lucida Handwriting, which is perfect, but if I open up "Computer Management" or "Windows Defender Firewall", the titlebar is not in that font.

Does that work for you? Or do you get different results?

I have changed my system font as well to something other than Segoe UI.

Is there a way to have "Computer Management" and other applications also use the font for "Window Title Bars" that I have chosen?

Thanks,
Ryan
