Hello Saiajin,

In classic Windows help, you will be able to change the colors of the active title bar, etc.

You can experiment with different color options in the games of different colors at your disposal in order to determine the exact combination you prefer.

  • How can I change the color of the Windows 7 Basic theme?

    After a year of the default theme for Win7 (which I liked), for a nice change, I passed to the Windows 7 basic theme. It is somewhat a return to the 95/98 default theme, and the taskbar are a clear/grey blue. Is there a way I can darken the color a little the taskbar, but keeping all the rest on this theme (form and UI icons, etc.)?

    In the section Customize, Windows had a link to the MS site for additional themes, but none of them had what I wanted.

    "Is there a specific option that determines the color of the taskbar?

    It's been so long I forgot what I did, but I found it.  You must use the option 3D objects.
    However, this also changes the bar tools, scrollbar, tabs and buttons (maybe more)
    so may not suit your needs because it will darken all of these features.

  • Windows 7 splash screen will not change after the vista update

    After updating vista 32 bit to windows 7 32 bits, the splash screen will not change and he showed the vista boot. I read a lot of forum and the web page, but this solution:

    «.. . the dummies and bad start screen for Windows 7 is due to the locale entry in the startup folder, which could not be set when editing or rebuilding the BCD. When the locale is not found, Windows boot loader doesn't know what local startup folder to look for the animated bootscreen. Thus, in order to fix the boot screen so that the splash screen can be re-established, restored or reset to original animated Windows 7 boot screen, just run one of the following commands at the prompt with administrator rights:

    bcdedit/set {current} settings regional en-US

    or

    BCDboot % WinDir % / l en

    Change the US to the language version of Windows 7 installed, as ja - JP, en - us, es - ARE, pt - BR, zh - CN, zh - TW, fr - FR, fi - FI and etc.

  • relocation of the agars recovery on computer laptop girls. Windows Vista Basic. Will not install correctly.

    Had to reinstall Windows Vista Basic on my laptop now girls probably 4 or 5 times over the past year.  A question is we get full and you get to a screen that says not to interrupt and cela will take a few minutes, which, on an attempt, I let it run all night and never went.  Finally, just let it load and put an end to the function and let him simply use the laptop.  Then after a few moments to use his laptop begins to freeze.  So, I have to go and try to reinstall its OS.

    If you restore so frequently, or at all, someone is something fundimentally incorrect and visit places / download infected files.

    Recover PC to factory specifications, winupdate turn off "recommended updates", but allow critical updates. Consult the manufacturer of your laptop and see if there are recommended updates shown there.

  • Pavilion 15 laptop: as the Windows 10 laptop upgrade will not close or wake

    Hello

    Since the upgrade to Windows 10 my 15 Pavilion has acquired two new problems:

    1. It will not wake from sleep and requires a hard reboot to get it going again.
    2. When stopped down, the lights of the power and wifi stay and a hard stop via the power button is necessary.

    I tried various fixes suggested in the Microsoft forum without success.  HP Support says there is no update for my laptop.  This issue is driving me crazy and I am very disappointed that HP seem so little to help.

    The details of my machine are:

    Product number: F8S59EA #ABU

    BIOS: F.67-11/26/2014

    Can someone please help?

    1. Download version 9 or 10 of the Intel Management Engine Interface (MEI) driver.

    2. Download the Package of troubleshooting Windows 10 "show or hide updates" (http://download.microsoft.com/download/F/2/2/F22D5FDB-59CD-4275-8C95-1BE17BF70B21/wushowhide.diagcab).
    3. Change the Windows Update Services automatic (delayed start) parameter to the manual.
      • In Control Panel, select administrative tools, and open Services.
      • Go to Windows Update and double-click it to view its properties.
      • Click on stop to stop the service to run.
      • Change the Startup Type to manual, and then click OK.
    4. Install version 9 or 10 of the Intel Management Engine Interface (MEI) driver.  If you receive a warning dialog box about the replacement of a newer version of the software, accept it.
      • NOTE: You have NO need to uninstall version 11 before installing version 9 or 10.  The presence of a version of the driver is required to 'upgrade' (or demote in this case).
    5. Run the Windows 10 Troubleshooting Package 'Show or hide updates' and hide the updates of the Intel Management Engine Interface (MEI) driver.  (This will block your system automatically reinstall or display of updates for version 11 of the pilot).
    6. Change back the setting of Windows Update Services to manual automatic (delayed start).
    7. Restart your computer.
    8. Rejoice!  You can finally sleep and stop again.

  • Shortcut Windows 7 to the MS-DOS program icon will not change

    I have an old MS-DOS program that I use and I need to create a toolbar that contains a link to other programs.  However, when I try to change the icon for the shortcut, it passes in the properties box, but does not actually change the icon in the bar of tools/folder, instead I get an icon of Virgin paper.  Does anyone know a workaround or fix for this?

    What I've done is to create a command (.cmd) file using Notepad

    run and the path to the app BACK for example

    Run E:\rbase.exe

    Save it as a file .cmd or simply change the extension to .cmd .txt

    For example, call Rbase.cmd

    Then using New (right click) on the desktop, create a shortcut to the .cmd file.

    You can change this shortcut icon.

  • The time on my Ipod will not change when its coastline, Wifi disconnects randomly, screen goes green and red and restart full iPod.

    OK so this problem started about two days ago. I noticed that my time was off so I went to settings > General > Date and time. I changed the hour correctly but when I locked it and got out of her for a few minutes, it was always the same when I changed it. For example: this morning, back at the exact time that was at 10:41 20 minutes later, I changed my time and it was still stuck at 10:41 time will work properly if I am constantly on my IPod and do not block. I really need to use the alarm when I wake up every morning! I've tried everything to fix it, but nothing seems to work. Reset my IPod do not even help.

    This issue has also started two days ago. I noticed that the wifi on my IPod touch 5th generation cut off while an application is open, but when I close it then connects back. It is only on my IPod, but not my IPad. It's pretty boring. I also tried to reset my router but it always disconnects.

    The latest happened just yesterday. Again, I've tried my time is correctly set when all of a sudden half top of my screen turns red and turns green half lower. The screen then goes to black and my entire iPod restarts.

    Thank you very much for the help. :-)

    Hi vett82ce, 

    You will need a codec to play the video file. A codec is a software to compress or decompress a digital media file, such as a song or a video. Windows Media Player and other programs use the codec to play and create digital media files.

    You can check the link to see the guidelines on the issue below:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/codecs-frequently-asked-questions

    You can use the link provided below and check if you get the necessary codec to download depending on the type of file, you try to play.
    http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx

    You can also use your favorite search engine to download and install a codec based on the file type, you must use.

    NOTE- Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.
