Colors in Windows Vista

• Change the colors in Windows Vista

  I am visually impaired and a bit as the initiator of this thread, I use a black background, not only because I love him, but because I have to in order to use Windows 7. Because I need 'High contrast' to affect all areas of Windows, I use the theme "high contrast black". An area that does not seem to be controlled by the 'Color and Metrics' settings screen, or High Contrast Black theme, is the text that is used for file names in the files 'System '. It is a blackish blue on black background, which doesn't offer much in terms of contrast. In addition to this, I have a still greater need, to access files and folders on a disc of Vista, I transferred the permissions, and once I get in the "Users" folder, file names and folders are all in exactly the same font color, which in fact almost impossible for me to read , due to this lack of contrast.

  The High Contrast Black theme should take care of that, but at least there must be a way to customize these fonts. I really hope there is a solution to this, as Microsoft have a duty to make it accessible to all areas their OS. Please tell me how to change the font color.

  Thank you very much

  (b) type the following command and press ENTER:

• Contrast of colors in Windows Vista Mail

  In Windows Mail in Vista 32, my mother has problems, see the tab scrolling - it shows as a little white square on white right scroll bar. It does not change to a blue color until the cursor is on top of it.

  The lack of contrast between the scroll button and the scroll bar, she struggles to find the tab from scrolling. With his poor eyesight, she bad to see a number of aspects of the Vista. She needs more contrast on the various displays of windows, but the problem of Windows Mail is the most immediate.

  It has the additional problem that she sometimes badly configured one of the programs (for example moves the entire window so that the right edge is right next to the screen) and she thinks something has changed that she does not understand, so for me, expects the visit to fix things.

  The new style of Windows is not very "friendly" for someone with a bad view and little understanding of the workings of computers and the Internet.

• Cannot run the system error PrintMaster 2012 PlatinumBasic has been replaced by Windows Vista Aero in Windows Vista Basic.

  Original title: PrintMaster 2012 PlatinumBasic

  After you install the above program, I am not able to open it. I get a message saying that the color scheme has been changed from Windows Vista Aero to Windows Vista Basic. However, the program is still not open. Any ideas on what I should do?

  Hello

  1. is the issue limited to the program Print Master 2012 base Platinum?

  If you receive a message that some Visual elements, such as transparency, have been turned off or if you receive a message that the color scheme has been changed to Windows Vista Basic, one of the following might have happened:

  ·         A program that you are using is not compatible with the Windows Aero color scheme. When you run a program that is not compatible with the Windows Aero color scheme, some Visual elements are automatically disabled. When the program is not is more running, the Visual elements that have been disabled will then automatically lit.

  ·         Your computer does not have to have enough memory to run all of the programs that you have open and also run the Windows Aero color scheme. Try closing some windows or changing your color scheme to Windows Vista Basic. If Windows automatically changed your game of colors in Windows Vista Basic, and you want to change it back to Windows Aero after closing some windows, follow these steps.

  See the link below:

• Windows Vista Basic colors - no option to change the colors?

  If I open the appearance settings I have the option to select a color scheme, like that I use which is Windows Vista Basic color scheme. However there seems to be no way to change the colors of the regime. I want to change default bluish tints to something different. If I hit the Advanced button, it has a clunky menu to change the color of windows, fonts, and other. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work. I changed the colors, but they do not apply in all cases and I'm still stuck with the blue wire.

  What is going on? Is easier to change the colors of the window? It makes no sense to me.

  Thank you

  Tom

• Windows Vista Ultimate Edition with HP Color LaserJet CM1015 MFP

  I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate, the computer was bought in 2008, 32-bit.  I also use HP Color LaserJet CM1015 MFP - about once a year, I have a major problem with the scan software & Windows Vista.  Both machines are in good working condition.  This time, I actually uninstalled the HP software and bought a new CD from HP specfically for Vista and installed the Vista software for the HP mfp - however, the scan option does not appear in the center of HP solutions as a button.  This is a feature I've always used.  What is the HP Solution Center is the scanner is not installed - although in the installed software.  Last night, I downloaded a patch and that did not correct the problem.  In addition, the HP LaserJet CM 1015 is in 'scanners and cameras' in the Panel configuration, but not in the HP Solution Center...

• Windows Vista Basic: Color scheme is missing

  A few minutes earlier, I put my computer to sleep for 30 minutes and then when I turned it back on, I saw that the enlarge/reduce/Cancel buttons are all different. Then I realized that I could change is no longer the color scheme from Windows Vista. I have Windows Vista Basic and when I clicked on change the colors and appearance, a window pops up which had no colors to choose. I want my old Windows Vista Basic back and I'm panicking about how to solve the problem! Is no Aero de Windows option on my computer either!

  In fact Windows Vista Basic doesn't support Aero. The Windows Aero visual experience includes bars menu similar to glass and Windows Flip 3D Live Thumbnails, these features are not available in it.

• Satellite P100-434 - Windows Vista - how to get Aero to work

  Hi does anyone know how to get Aero to work on my Tosh laptop. the OS is Vista Home Premium and I have exhausted the help options OS affecting theme Win Vista, color scheme to Aero etc.

  Hello

  The laptop should be certainly be able to use the AERO.
  It supports a 256 MB card and 2 GB memory graphics.

  So it seems you only need to activate the Aero on your Vista.
  But which version of Vista is installed on the laptop.
  As I know the basic home edition version does not include the Aero. The Aero is available on the Home Premium edition or newer

  So now you ask what you can do? I found these tips on the site of Ms.
  Check if the desktop theme has been set to Windows Vista

  1. open theme settings by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, appearance and personalization, customization and then clicking theme.
  2. in the theme list, click Windows Vista, and then click OK.

  But note; to enable transparency, the color scheme must first be set to Windows Aero.

  2. click on the appearance and color of the window.
  3. Select the transparency check box.
