Chrome Title Bar Fix for Windows 7 Themes
A working fix to make Chrome and other browsers' title bar look like Windows 7's in Windows 10

I don't know if this has been posted here before, but while looking for a fix to get that pesky Google Chrome title bar to conform with my Windows 7 theme, I found this solution that actually worked.
Just wanted to share it here since I imagine I wouldn't be the only one experiencing this problem.

For those who don't want to click on a link, here is what you do:
1. Create a new Google Chrome shortcut on your desktop
2. Right-click it and press "Properties"
3. Add --disable-windows10-custom-titlebar to the Target line as such:
4. Press "Apply", then "Continue" popup talking about administrator permission as such, and then "Ok" to close the window
5. Unpin your existing Google Chrome shortcut from the taskbar (if you have one there already)
6. Drag the shortcut you just edited to the taskbar
7. Done!
One issue I've noticed is that it only works with some Chrome themes. I haven't really done a lot of testing.
The theme I'm using right now, and the one in the screenshot below is: Morpheon Dark
Just make sure you replace the already existing Chrome shortcut on your taskbar with the one you just added the command line to.
Once you restart Chrome, it should look like this:
Beautiful.
