Found this post on Reddit by user mathfigure, thought it might as well be here too: Apply the following patch to enable the Windows color settings in the title bar of the vmware workstation pro v16.x and v17.x:
move the file 'vmware.exe' from its installation folder to the desktop
open the file 'vmware.exe' in a hex editor
find the hex bytes: '83 00 00 00 75' and change the value '75' to 'EB'
find the hex bytes: '86 00 00 00 75' and change the value '75' to 'EB'
find the hex bytes: '85 00 00 00 75' and change the value '75' to 'EB'
save the changes
move the file 'vmware.exe' back to its installation folder
With the patch: Without it: |

Nice find. By the way, this trick also works with VMware Workstation Player.

Someone on ClassicServ found the another solution. Open executable with resource editor. Navigate to Manifest and open a resource 1:1033. Delete string <supportedOS Id="{8e0f7a12-bfb3-4fe8-b9a5-48fd50a15a9a}"/>. I suggest to make a backup of executable before you do this.

I wonder, what's the reason at all for the devs to make such simple custom titlebar? I think it you make a custom frame for your app, at least make it like painting's frame.

You corrupted the executable. |
