• I can't customize my window color and appearance to change the transparency and color of the window.

  Tuesday night I had to re-charge/reinstall Windows Vista because I had some problems with the worms and Trojans. After that I have re-installed Windows, I was able to customize my resolution and my window color and appearance. Once I installed all the 106 updates of Windows, I was finally able to change my resolution but I still not able to change my window color and appearance. Before I reloaded Windows I could change the transparency of the windows and taskbar and the tone of the colors, etc., but now all I can choose themes default and such of older versions of Windows. I was told that after I downloaded and installed all the updates, I'd be able to do, but I'm still not able to do. Is there a reason why and is there a any solution for this? Drivers? Material? Thank you. :) I hope this has been detailed enough.

  Hi Nicole,.

  In the services dialog box, double-click the themes service. On the Recovery tab, set the first and second failure of the drop-down lists "restart the service". If she is still unable to start/restart, open the event viewer for Windows Logs\System and locate the failure event. Post back with the information found here.

  I could be off in a way... but from what I've observed, the system remembers the LAST location you saved anything in.
  If it was the pictures folder, then it goes straight to the photos.

• Message box color settings disabled when you use the dialog "Windows color and appearance".

  When you use the configuration dialog box 'Window color and appearance', why are there color settings invalid?  I want to remove the default 'Pastel Pink' value that I find unacceptable.

  I can switch to "Classic Windows" that uses no pastel pink color, but "Classic Windows" does not support "Aero Peek", and the windows look pretty tired.  You can only take "Classic Windows" for many years.

  Color settings are disabled for: buttons, Message box, title of Palette, scroll bar.

  Help, please!

  Me too I'm frustrated by that.   Found the old windows with very honest XP environment.   I used the advanced settings, but has not found a way to save the changes with a label, so I knew that the changes you made.   It is just Frigging trial and error and very frustrating.

  Why are there no way to return either to the default value (not found a default label) or save the settings changed under a name?    It is a productivity KILLER.

  Hello

  Interface user of Windows 7 is theme based. The colors are defined by the theme.

  You still have many color options that can be used to change the colors.

  Right click on the desktop and select Personalize. Click on the color of the window at the bottom of the window box.

  You can select one of the colors in the boxes colored at the top.

  Adjust the intensity of the color with the cursor.

  Click on the color down mixer and you can a lot of variations on all the different color choices.

  I hope this helps.

  Thank you for using Windows 7

• Disable all the smoothing of the fonts in Windows 7 (ie: including the taskbar, menus, Control Panel, etc...)

  I would like to turn off completely all the fonts, straightening, smoothing, etc... on Windows 7. I struggle to read and it gives me a headache.

  Here's what I've tried so far:

  1. go to Windows 7 Basic theme. (No Aero).
  2. run the ClearType tuner. (It did not help. "I want to delete the font smoothing, not tweak it.)
  3 disable ClearType altogether. (Taskbar, menus, etc. are still sleek/anti-aliasing).
  4 unchecked "smooth edges of screen fonts" performance-> Visual effects. (The taskbar, help, Board policies, etc. remain smoothed).
  5 changed all my fonts Tahoma under personalize-> Windows Color
  6 using the regedit, added "Tahoma" as the first option under HKLM-> software-> Microsoft-> Windows NT-> current-> FontSubstitutes
  7 delete all fonts in/Windows/Fonts Segoe (had to take possession to do)
  8 deleted almost all foreign fonts in/Windows/Fonts (I was frustrated...)
  9. I tried to play with HKCU-> Panel-> Desktop-> FontSmoothingType (1 and 0) and FontSmoothing (1 and 0).
  10 tried to run my laptop to a non-native resolution (which makes even worse)

  The steps above has removed most fonts smoothing, the taskbar, dialogue, Control Panel, etc. boxes are still sleek/anti-aliasing. So far, the only way I found to completely turn off all smoothing is to switch to classic mode, which is unfortunate to delete any visual styles either. In short, I want Win7 fonts to render in a mode binary/full pixelated, with no blur rendering or subpixel gray.

  Help, please!

  Hi Ken,
  I hope that the typography of Win 7 team makes this optional 'functionality' of SP1. I'm holding out until then. But if you insist on using 7 before smoothing fonts is fixed, here's how to deal with registry fonts substitutes and UAC/protection system.
  Change under FontSubstitutes registry settings so that "Tahoma" appears before Segoe in all parameters of FontSubstitute. Then, appropriating the Windows directory (I took possession of all subdirectories and files, that may be excessive, but made other tweaking easier to deal with) delete Segoe. To appropriate, right-click on the Windows system folder, select 'Properties', click Security, advanced options, and then clik on owner in the advanced security settings... Click the button modify and change of owner to your own account. Do some "replace the subcontainer owner...". "is checked.
  It is an exaggeration, but it will get.

  P.S. If someone figure out how to remove the font smoothing in the taskbar for Win 7, I praise you for all time.
