Change background Windows Sidebar

Initially, the background of the sidebar of Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 (64-bit) was a transparent extension of the background of the desktop (photo).  No known reason, the background of the sidebar changed to solid white and seems to be above (coating) wallpaper (apparently under sidebar area).  The wallpaper is unchanged; It now seems to be covered by the sidebar with its own white solid.  Gadgets can be added and removed without problem (gadgets working properly when it is present).  The closure of the sidebar, the wallpaper in the sidebar appears and fills the screen filling a transparent image.  How can I get the sidebar settings to the initial setting, such as the background of the sidebar (with OPEN sidebar) is basically transparent so that the wallpaper is displayed in the sidebar?  I cannot find any setting of the option / which restores the side bar to its original state, transparent background.

The display of the sidebar is the same to the left or right of your desktop.  I have the max value display resolution: 1680 x 1050 with a photo as background 1680 x 1050.  I have "the sidebar is always above other windows" option is NOT selected.  I tried other background images more low resolution.

Customizing desktop color corrected and the aspect of a problem.  Choose the Windows Vista Basic color scheme.  Start missed this info provided through the previous question above.

  • Background to the Windows Sidebar is now white opaque

    After the latest Windows updates have been applied to my Vista laptop, the background of the Windows Sidebar is now opaque white and not transparent. How can I change to transparent so I can see the image of the Office under?

    Woo Hoo!  Had the same problem and stumbled upon the solution.   You MUST open the Panel configuration... then the customization of your monitor.  Once there, select "Window color and appearance."  You then set your color scheme to "Windows Vista Basic"... and waala!  Your sidebar is back to transparent.

  • Gadgets for Windows Sidebar does not display correctly

    Hello
    I just installed a new antivirus-Sophos which automatically uninstalled my previous installation of McAfee that came with my Dell laptop.
