Changed Windows style/theme

Theme or style of the appearance of windows changed.  Looks like in a old computer theme and style, that is, the Start button is more round, but rectangular and many other fundamental changes.  Option in WindowsOther user account has not been affected by the change.   Options in Windows Color and appearance have changed.  Looks like an old XP type options.  That's happened?  How do go back to what it was?

I found the answer myself: Director of Windows desktop has been turned off.  Also, I had to restart themes.  These two have been set in the Services.  Find my answers here:

First answer here partially fixed:

Second part was here... instead of stop Windows Desktop Manager, I restarted:

http://www.ehow.com/how_4691381_disable-Windows-Desktop-Manager-tip.html

But now I know what to do to speed up Vista.  Stop or disable everything I just restarted!  Strangely enough, it's... Why this change first?

  • Changed to Windows Classic theme

    I used Registry Mechanic to optimize the performance of my computer and suddenly, the theme changed to Windows Classic

    I can not change anything to the Windows Vista theme, and the theme file is missed

    Are there solutions?

    Click Start and type services.msc, and then press . Scroll down and locate the themes service and click on it. Then click on start or restart option in the left column. Once restarted, you should be able to select again the theme of Windows Vista in the control/customization panel.

  • Why my Windows 7 theme keep changing every time that I reboot?

    I recently bought a laptop Acer Ferrari One with pre-installed Windows 7. I have customized the Windows 7 theme, but every time I turn off reset them to the default desktop background settings when I switich it turn it back on. The other parameters remain the same as the color of the sounds, screensaver and window, but why change my wallpaper? I saved the theme I created and continually delete one keep the laptop automatically create by default. How to stop? Is it possible that I can do my default theme?

    Thank you

    I experienced the same problem, but this solved it for me.

    Go to regedit > HKEY_Current_User > Software > Microsoft > Windows > DWM

    Once in DWM, right-click on an empty area inside it and create two new DWORD value (32), as shown below.

    Blur

    Animations

    Once these are added, right-click on them and click on change to ensure that the value is set to 0. Then open cmd (command prompt) as an administrator.  -Windows 7 users can open quickly as administrator by typing cmd in the start menu search box, and then shift + right click on the command prompt > open as administrator

    net stop uxsms

    net start uxsms

    __________________________________

    Once those who are made, open the start menu and right click on computer > properties.

    Go to advanced system settings. On the Advanced tab, click settings under performance. Change the default to Custom, and then hit apply and OK.

    You may need to disable a list item to hit apply, but double-check it after hitting apply first and then re - re-check the list item and click on apply. This will prevent the computer to change the custom to 'let windows choose what's best for my computer.

    This will fix the problem. Looks like a lot to do, but really, it isn't and is easy.

  • After changing Windows 8.1 for Windows 10 my photoshop 6 is not working properly: layers styles cannot be applied to the objects in the layer

    After changing Windows 8.1 for Windows 10 my photoshop 6 working properly: layer styles can be applied to the object in the layer.

    Thanks much for the reply, thank you very much more useful.

    The letter appears to be part of the layer - not an object separate pixelated. One thing you could do is make a layer duplicated, select the letter and make a layer of the mask. Then you could add a style to the copy, and the rest of the initial layer will be hidden.

    Sometimes you may encounter problems with Windows XP Thèmes. These problems may occur because of the following reasons:

    1. Changes on the computer Visual Styles
    2. Services disabled
    3. Theme incompetible
    4. Security (problem of spyware & malware)

    There are a few difficulties for theme issues. Lets discuss some of them:

    • Go in Start > settings > Control Panel > system > advanced and clicksettings under the performance tab. If the 'custom' option is used, ensure "use of Visual on windows and buttons styles" checkbox is enabled.
    • In Windows Explorer , navigate to Tools > Folder Options. In thegeneral tab, make sure that the checkbox "Show tasks in folders" is checked in the sectiontasks .
    • Go in Start > settings > Panel > display > appearance and make sure "Windows XP Style" is selected underWindows and buttons of drop-down list.
    • Click on Start > run and type services.msc to see theServices of Windows XP Management Console. Ensure that the themes service is configured to run automatically and check to verify that it has already started. (Note: you can click with the right button on an item in the name column to set up a specific service)
    • Click on Start > run and type services.msc again. Double-click the name column aboutTerminal Server Services . Click on the tab log on ensure that the service is enabled for the defaulthardware profile.

    If the instructions above does not help, what should I do?

    Go in Start > settings > Control Panel > display > themes and select Windows XP. IfWindows XP thème by default is not listed you can check the following location (%SystemRoot%\Resources\Themes\Luna.theme) (SystemRoot is the directory of your operating system installation. Windows for example) the Luna theme is the main theme of Windows

    Nodes property can be resized by dragging down on them.

    resize the property node you re using and use a "Conspiracy Active" property to set the index of the plot of the plot you wan to act on.

    Also note that property nodes are running up and down, so the "active conspiracy" must be above the property where you specify the point style.

  • My computer switches automatically back to Windows Classic theme.

    All of a sudden, when I logout, the computer restores the Windows Classic theme. When I connect, I can change the theme to any topic I want, but it changes again in classic Windows anyway. Before doing a system restore, someone has an idea what is the problem?

    Have you tried putting the computer in a "clean boot" follow these steps: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/331796 to see if the problem occurs?

    It may be another program interfering with the operating system that is the cause.
