(Windows 7 Aero) Window titles show up bold

Question

Here's the problem. I accidentally switched the theme to Classic (don't ask), and when I switched back, all windows have bold titles.

enter image description here

In the image, the top one is how it should be and the bottom is how it looks here. (I got the top image online)

Any proposals on how to fix this? Does this happen frequently?

Open the start menu and type Glass color. That should give you the Control Panel applet to change the color of the borders. Click Advanced and check that the font isn't** bolded**.

Edit:

I don't see any 'advanced' button on any of the applets... Can you specify its name?

You can edit the Active Title Bar's font settings under the Window Color and Appearance dialog.

Open the Control Panel and click Appearance and Personalization > Change the theme.
At the bottom of the Personalization window, click Window Color.
At the bottom of the Window Color and Appearance window, click Advanced appearance settings....
A different Window Color and Appearance window pops up! Select Active Title Bar from the Item drop-down, and change the font's Bold (B) setting.

Note: This window can also be accessed by launching the Change window colors and metrics shortcut from the Start Menu.
Click OK to save.
