windows 10 custom title bar color

Microsoft Apps such as Word, Excel use custom colors in the window title bar. IntelliJ and BeyondCompare have chosen similar colored icons so to takes a few more of MY cycles to select the correct window when I am changing tasks.
Is there a way to tailor installed applications to have a specific title bar color perhaps using registry entries and themes. This would speed up task switches which I do continuously in development mode.
As a second choice, I am not adverse to creating an IntelliJ plugin that would zap the color if that would do the job but am not sure if there is a way to easily zap the title bar color in the Windows-10 API.

Maybe you need to check your image dimensions and change the background color of the launch screen in the Resources/LaunchScreen.storyboard file (Color tag).
If you need your launch screen background color white:
<color key="backgroundColor" red="1" green="1" blue="1" alpha="1" colorSpace="calibratedRGB"/>
If you need your launch screen background color black:
<color key="backgroundColor" red="0" green="0" blue="0" alpha="1" colorSpace="calibratedRGB"/>

Transparent icon in start menu for universal app

I'm developing a universal app. I have a list of icons in the manifest. The icon on the taskbar is fine, transparency works.
The start menu icon doesn't have transparent edges.
No edges.
The list of icons that I have.
How would I make the edges transparent? Should I add any other icons?
This is by design as the background (behind the tile itself) may be colored quite differently. In the start menu, there's a dark background whereas there's a white background in the Cortana search. Maybe try sending MS your wishes via the feedback app :)
Seems like that it's by design, as you can see, default Windows Apps behave the same too, even those which use transparent color for their logo (like Calculator, Mail, etc).
However, If you set background color of logo and tile to "transparent" (in app manifest) your app icon may get displayed in start menu with transparent background in some circumstances like when Windows is in hight contrast theme.
