Windows 10 has a tile system which colored based on the theme you choose. However, there is only one color for every program on the tile menu.
But, is there any way to change tile color for certain programs?
Unfortunately, Windows 10 doesn’t provide such capability to change tile color individually, but a lightweight app named Windows Tile Color Changer could solve this problem.
I’m going to explain to you how to change tile color using that program. Check out the following tutorial!

In this guide, you will learn how to change tile color for a specific program using Windows Tile Color Changer. This app should be work on Windows 10 and Windows 8/8.1.

According to my test, the color remains intact although you close the Windows Tile Color Changer program. This should be good news for users since it doesn’t have to run in the background or slowing down the startup process.
Please note that this app is not perfect (yet). Some programs like Microsoft Office and Firefox restrict changing color so you can’t modify the tile of these programs. The majority of programs should be work perfectly nonetheless.
I hope this guide helps you. Thank you for visiting!
