Change my color of laptops

I picked up a Dv7 at a cheap enough price for most due to its color (Pink/Silver). Although I like really the laptop I'm not too fond of the color so I thought that would be the best way to change its color.

I have the manual and read how to get down the aluminum parts, does not seem difficult just a little of your time. In any case instead of paying money for the silver aluminum parts I thought just sanding them and paint.

Before I gave it a shot but I was wondering if there is anything important I should take note of when disassemble the laptop and has anyone done this before? I think a beautiful black satin aluminum would look nice.

Hi Ludovic,.

Congratulations on your new laptop.

One thing to consider is that, once you break this case, the warranty is gone.  HP will have no sympathy about the color, I'm afraid.  You could ask them; the guarantee could hold if you paint on the outside without opening the case.  I doubt that it is important to RESUME what you do outside the inside is considered to be sacred in the one year warranty period.

It's pink.  If you do not open the case to paint over it and you can cover all the nooks and crannies to protect it from paint that painting would not - so you could take to a hobby store and ask them advice on how better painted without destroying the internal warranty on it and make it look great.

Don't forget to add your favorite icon or a personal marker since you make this laptop 'yours '.

It's my pleasure to help.

  • HP ENVY 14 LAPTOP - cannot change the color of the menu of win 7

    Right now I know it is a HP support forum but I have a HP laptop and desktop and I really hope someone here can help me really...

    Good one a few months ago I bought a HP Envy 14 laptop and I must say that I really liked it. Then a few days ago, I just bought a HP desktop computer (can tell you I'm a fan of HP) and I love it also.

    Here's my problem...

    On my desk, I decided to change her look, so I installed a custom theme (dark theme) and it changes the appearance of windows 7 and changed the color of the lower menu/taskbar of windows 7 in black and I really liked it. I decided to install this theme on my laptop and everything has changed except for the background color of menu/taskbar of windows 7 botom. For some reason any will not change the color of the menu bit matter what I do.

    I tried to go to:

    Panel-> personalization-> change the color of window glass

    and by selecting a different color but not matter what color I select windows 7 background menu/taskbar does not change it remains just the grayish color of say her since I got the laptop.

    Now, why this work on my desktop but not on my laptop?

    There must be a setting on windows 7 that prevents me to change the color of the lower menu/taskbar. Still worse firefox is horrible. I can not change the appearance of firefox, whenever I have try and install a new firefox theme does not change. On my desk, I installed a dark theme for firefox 11 (the Nasa Night Launch) theme and it worked very well but for some reason any on my laptop, nothing seems to work just...

    I really hope that someon can help me with this because it makes me crazy...

    I want to thank you all for your time and help,

    DragonFur, I want to thank you for your time and your answers, you should know that it meant a lot to me.

    After doing a lot of work and trial and error, I finally found a solution to this problem...

    I did a lot of googling and research and what I found is that there are many people out there who are owners of laptop HP Envy 14 who have trouble changing the color of their windows 7 start menu/taskbar or with the taskbar is not not transparent.

    Here are some of the things I tried.

    1 Installing different themse (did not work)

    2. Update driver for ati radeon 5650 graphics card (did not work)

    3 tried to adjust areo ensuring transparency has been activated (did not work)

    4. tried to bios update (did not work)

    5 tried to use a program to change the color of the bar tasks (did not work)

    What I ended up doing is creating a new user to the administrator and when I created this account is a program called "stardock mypaint" come asking me if I wanted to use this program to change the original theme for windows. When I said this software to change the original theme of windows 7, it changed my taskbar to the greyish appearance, it was the same off-white color I had on my account I tried to change. So I went back to my account and I searched for the program "stardock mypaint" and I have disabled this theme and then he changed my windows operating system 7 to an original blue theme but the taskbar was transparent! Then I went into my themes and changed the theme I wanted and my taskbar has changed color and transparency! Needless to say I was so happy.

    I really hope that this post will really help someone else who is trying to solve this problem...

    HP I really hope that maybe you guys can watch this program "Stardock MyPaint" which I think may be for HP Envy 14 laptop computers and allow users to know that the use of this program can affect other issues.

    Isn't funny how the solution to the problem is always the simplest answer...

    I knew there was something in the windows that kept my taskbar to be transparent and changing colors and it turns out it was a program of HP.

    Yet once I really hope this helps someone else out there and I'm hoping that HP employees this will read so maybe they can help each other if someone falls on this problem.

    DragonFur, thanks again for your help...

    Hello

    you mean the gamma settings? I don't know if the ati drivers are able to do, but you can try the program "powerstrip" (www.download.com/PowerStrip/3000-2086_4-10395724.html), which can change the color and the parameter gamma for graphics cards.

    Loreall,

    The function of colors in Reader replacement only changes the color of the background of the main page, so if the author has added a document background (even if it has a white background added) then this could cause the problem you describe.  One thing that can help is if you turn on reflow mode, because this requires additional backgrounds to disappear.  You can try this by placing the option in the menu display or press Ctrl + 4.

  • How can I change the color of Minnie Mouse dress?

    Announcements see the dress of Minnie in red, yellow or blue, but I did not understand how this change in the function 'customize '.  It's three different dials or I missed something?

    Hello

    Follow these steps to change the color of the dress of Minnie:

    • While the airtime on the dial of Minnie Mouse, press firmly on the screen, then press the Customize button.
    • Swipe left / right to switch between the three screens of personalization:
      • The first screen allows you to switch between Mickey and Minnie Mouse by turning the digital Crown.
      • With Minnie Mouse selected, the second Customization screen is used to change the color of her dress, once again by turning the digital Crown.
    • When finished, press the digital Crown twice to return to the watch face.
  • change the color of the title effect

    For this example of a readymade title:

    I would like to know how I could change the color (red) behind the title of the text.  Let's say, I would like the blue instead, or yellow, or anything else.  I tried a number of ways (just getting used to FCP X).  Y at - it a command for this, or should I make a mask with a different color?  Problem is red is lively, and a mobile mast would be required... sort of complicated as a procedure.  BTW, how these securities were made?  In another program, or can they be changed in it?

    2nd question: How can I extend the follow-up of this text as a sequence of animation?  I tried to change the follow-up by degrees and adding images key, but it does not work.  In other words, when you see the title, shown above, I would like to extend then follow-up.

    Thank you.

  • How to change the color of pre-rendered screen.

    My question is how to change the color of the page that is displayed before a site is fully charged. So let's say I go to a site where the background color is red. Before the end of Firefox loading it will appear as white. Also yes I have known that I have an add-on which changes the default color of YouTube. However the first picture comes on all websites no matter if their background is white or not.

    You can try the userChrome.css code or elegant.

    Add code to the file userChrome.css below default @namespace.

    browser {background-color:#f0f0f0!important}
    

    The file userChrome.css (UI) customization and userContent.css (Web sites) are located in the folder of chrome in the Firefox profile folder.

    You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:

    • Create the folder chrome (lowercase) in the .default < xxxxxxxx > profile folder if the folder does not exist
    • Use a text editor like Notepad to create a userChrome.css (new) file in the folder chrome (file name is case sensitive)
    • Paste the code in the userChrome.css file in the Editor window
    • Make sure that the userChrome.css file starts with the default @namespace line
    • Make sure that you select "All files" and not "text files" when you save the file via "save file as" in the text editor as userChrome.css.
      Otherwise, Windows can add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with one does not not userChrome.css.txt file
  • How can I change the colors of fonts that I add to my movies?

    Hi all

    I have a simple question. I have a loot of VHS tapes I've had since Adam was a boy. I've been working my way through them and their conversion into DVD. This is probably very different from what most people use the software for. I've been using iMovie HD until it was more compatible, then Final Cut Express.

    Did not go for a while and decided that I should start using Final Cut Pro. After a few days of fiddling, I'm at the stage where I'm ready to try to make a film I did before (do not take risk). The only thing I can't work on is to know how to change the color of all fonts that I use. So far, all I can use is the color that comes with the model. I want to change because I use my own back grounds. A white font on a light background is a bit difficult to read.

    It was not hard to get that I did. One of the most polite things said about it was when Apple released it it should have been called iMovie HD Pro. I do not disagree with that.

    That's people, thanks for any help you can give. If there are textbooks that would be useful any suggestion would be appreciated.

    See you soon,.
