CHANGE MINIMIZE MAXIMIZE CLOSE BUTTONS WINDOWS 10 MAC

Have you done something recently using the 'defaults write' Terminal command to modify an existing parameter or create a new one? Or do you use some sort of third-party app that modes window or system behavior (like BetterTouchTool or ?)? So the behavior you're seeing is where if you click on the green maximize icon on the window behind safari's nothing happens (unless you first click in that window to bring it to the front)? Well the image you posted shows me that you have the mouse cursor over one of the close/minimize/maximize button icons on the window in the background (behind the Safari window that is showing a small corner), so that tells me that the app is getting the focus events that this would generate (otherwise the icons would remain grey like they are if you move the cursor somewhere else). Anyone have an idea on what I can do to fix this? I did an OS re-install and it didn't fix it either.

Is there a setting that I messed up somewhere? My wife's mac doesn't have this issue and I have all my setting that I can think of set the same but it hasn't changed the behavior. Also, the mac apps won't become active unless I click somewhere on the frame of the window but when I have them open in the background and click inside the window to acitvate them they don't respond. The Mac apps require me to click the top bar first or commad+tab the app to be active before the top bars will work. I have tried using the button on non-mac apps and the buttons work when the apps are in the background without activating the window by clicking the top bar. When I click any of the top buttons they will turn red, yellow, green and stay 'on' but the buttons won't do what they should do. Safari, Mail, iMessages, iTunes, etc won't minimize or close in the background.

I have been able to click the minimize, maximize & close buttons on all open apps that are in the background (app window is behind another active window) but for some reason I can only use the buttons on non-mac apps.
