As far as i can remember in older versions of Windows you were able to modify the thickness of the window title bar so that
minimize and close icons become smaller and the top of the window narrower.
What i'm referring to:
I cannot seem to find this setting in windows 10. Is it hidden somewhere?How can i modify the theme used in Windows 10 (not choose another theme but modify default one).
Thanks for any help.

I don't have Windows 10, but the solution is probably to change the registry at
HKEY_CURRENT_USERControl PanelDesktopWindowMetrics .
The following registry .reg file will make the titlebar thinner, the titlebar text smaller, scroll bars thinner and the border padding as thin as possible.
Remember to export the
WindowMetrics key before you start modifying it, just in case you need to revert to the defaults after having messed something up.You also need to log out and back in again to see the changes.
For CaptionHeight and CaptionWidth, use the following formula:
-15*desired height in pixels .For example, to set the title bar height to 18px, set the CaptionHeight value to-15*18, resulting in -270 .
For ScrollWidth and ScrollHeight, the default value is -255. A higher value (ex: -1000) will give you a wider scrollbar, and lower value (ex: -100) will give you a thinner scrollbar.

There is a way to modify the Window 10 title bar height using Windows Registry Editor. Follow these steps:
Anthony BartoloAnthony Bartolo
First you have to open up the control panel and go to Appearance and Personalization
Then select Display,'make text items and other items larger or smaller'
Click on the small box next to Title bar and adjust your Title bar size.

Here is how it's done in Win 8 / 8.1. I don't have Win 10 so please try and let us know if the same works.
HKEY_CURRENT_USERControl PanelDesktopWindowMetrics
Note
The default value is -60. A higher value (ex: -1500) will give you wider window borders, and lower value (ex: 0 or -1) will give you thinner window borders.
Each -17 is equal to 1 pixel in width.

For Windows 10 b1607 the height of a window title bar will be adjusted accordingly to the size of the title bar font. For a (dpi) display setting of 100% the following values are valid at the moment:
It is not necessary to adjust the value 'CaptionHeight' in the Windows registry anymore as proposed in several other answers because this value is adjusted by windows automatically now when the title bar font size is changed.
The title bar font can be changed here:

I know that you can change the font sizes through the settings app (typing in font size located it quickly) . Whether that also changes the title bar size I don't know.

Would you like to tweak your title bar and menu fonts in Windows 7? Here’s how you can change those little settings you may have enjoyed tweaking in older versions of Windows.
Sometimes it can be nice to really make your computer fully personalized. Back in the ‘90’s, many of use enjoyed customizing Windows 95 and 98’s themes with colors, fonts, and more. These features are actually still in Windows 7, albeit slightly more hidden. Here’s how to change them.
Right-click on your desktop, and select Personalize as you would to change your Aero theme.
In the Personalization pane, click Window Color under the theme lists.
Under the color options, click the Advanced appearance settings link.
This will open an Appearance dialog that looks like the one you may have been used to using with Windows 98 or 2000. In the preview box at the top, click the element you wish to tweak. Here we’re selecting the top window boarder on the message box since we want to change the font on the window title bar.
Now pick the font, size, color, and more for the area you selected. You’ll immediately see the preview in the top box. If you want to change fonts or more in other parts of your theme, simply select them and change as you wish. Note that the colors for the elements themselves, such as the blue in the active title bar here, will not show up unless you switch to the Windows Classic theme.
Once you’re done, click Ok to apply the settings.
Your screen will dim momentarily as Windows applies the theme changes.
Moments later, you’ll see your new font style on your window borders. If you chose a larger font than the Windows standard, your window border and buttons will be larger also.
Alternately, if you choose a smaller font or font size, your window buttons will shrink. Feel free to play with it until it looks perfect to you!
You can continue your tweaking with other parts of the UI, such as the file menu font. Here notice that we have Segoe Script in the file menu, along with our customized window border font.
Here’s our new right-click menu with Segoe Script font; when you change the file menu font, the right-click menus change the same.
If you’d like to go back to your original settings, you can change the fonts back by hand as before, or just select one of the other themes in the Personalization pane to revert to the default settings.
If you’d like to do more with themes in Windows 7, here’s some articles you might want to check out:

In Windows 7 and previous versions of Windows, changing the default font, text size and font color of active toolbar, menu, desktop icons, and message box was an easy task. One could navigate to window color in Personalization settings and then Advanced appearance settings to change the default look of the text on the desktop and other areas. In addition to the text size and text color of active title bar, one could also change active window border, application background, border padding, caption buttons, desktop icons, hyperlink, icon spacing, menu, message box, selected items, scrollbar, and inactive title bar. But in Windows 8, Microsoft has removed the Advanced appearance settings and has included stripped-down version of the feature that lets you change only the text size of title bars, message boxes, menus, icons, tooltips, and palette titles. Here is how to change the text size of title bars, menus, message boxes, palette titles, icons and tooltips. Step 1: Right-click on desktop and click Personalize option. Step 2: On the left-pane of Personalization window, click on Display option to open display settings. Step 3: Here, under, Change only the text size, select title bars, message boxes, palette titles, or menus from the drop-down box and then change the text size in the box. Once done, click Apply button. Comments are closed.
