My Windows look and feel has changed

Usually, I'm able to Google solutions to all my computer problems, but this one I can't understand. Just using my computer normally (alt tab frequently between windows 5 or 6), I don't know what I pushed, but something so my windows look and feel has changed in a couple of ways, and I want to know how I can change it back. My buttons of legend (close, optimize and reduce) have changed the way they seem to be normal square icons to 3 horizontal lines identical blue. They look cool, but more difficult to click and boring. In addition, my menu alt tab changed to regular desktop icons - he used to display an overview of large size of each window, each about the size of 4 desktop icons implemented. Can someone tell me what I did to make this change? I've done before, restarted my computer and the appearance was back to normal, but I did once again, somehow and close down / restarts and other parameters such as personalization, the appearance of the window and themes will not change this back. Help!

Have you tried to remove alienware theme?  Sounds like a good place to start, most of the third-party themes replace system files used for window styles and legend buttones (.msstyles files), and I bet that's the root cause of here.

  • ODI 12 c, Menu bar disappears with the Windows look and feel

    I've changed the look and feel of Oracle for Windows in the preferences, but ODI restarted disappeared from the menu at the top of the application bar. I can't change the look and feel of back because I can't have preferences as there is no menu.

    I had a glance in conf files for this setting, but can't find it.

    How can I change the look and feel back to Oracle or get the menu bar in the look and feel of Windows?

    If you delete this directory with the cached information and start to ODI, he must return to the original settings;

    C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\odi\system12.1.2.0.0

    Looks like nobody has tried to change the look and feel.

    See you soon

  • New Look and Feel - why I am a "student"? And no recaptcha Image last night?

    Like the new look, but:

    -Why I am a "student" and where can I change this (if anywhere) as its not obvious on the profile page.  In fact the profile is pretty useless - cannot change the user name - I could use my old I tried to do too much was already in use (of course).

    -Last night, when I wanted to participate in the forums that I couldn't because it kept asking me to recaptcha verification words, but the word images not show so I couldn't enter forums. I've tried three different browsers, empty cookies blah blah blah. 8 hours later the word verification image appears immediately.  No good first impressions on the new look and feel.

    -I'm also annoyed because I bought a new printer and cannot reset the password to access eprint is very frustrating (but it is on another post)

    Hello

    Since you upgraded to Windows 7 have you run Upgrade Advisor and verify with the
    Compatibility Center (for the compatibility of the device)?

    Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor <-- please="" run="" this=""> http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/get/upgrade-advisor.aspx

    Also check the Compatibility Center (for the compatibility of the device)?
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/default.aspx

    Check with the system and peripheral manufacturers for updated drivers and many have special
    instructions to help the upgrade to Windows 7. You should also check with the system
    Machine to ask in their forums (if any) for known problems and solutions and support.

    ==============================================================

    If the system is compatible Windows 7 AND there are drivers for your WebCam
    (and other devices).

    Vista references apply to Windows 7.

    You probably need to reload the drivers of the device and the camera'IF' control software
    There is for Windows 7.

    Login as an administrator.

    Control Panel - Device Manager - Imaging - write down of the brand and the model of camera - double
    Click on it and on the tab of the driver is version. Now, click on update drivers (who cannot do anything
    that MS is far behind the drivers of certification). The RIGHT CLICK on the camera - UNINSTALL-
    REBOOT - it will refresh the driver stack.

    Now, go to the system manufacturer's website and download the latest driver of the camera and other partners
    the camera software (if not more recent get the same).

    Download - SAVE - go to them and RIGHT CLICK - RUN AS ADMIN - reboot after each driver.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    ==============================================================

    If there are no Windows 7 drivers:

    You can try loading the latest driver available in Compatibility Mode which sometimes
    work however, it isn't anywhere near a sure thing.

    Exhausted all other methods in the Troubleshoot utility above before trying these.

    Logon as ADMINISTRATOR for all of them.

    You can try Compatibility Mode but this rarely works on the device drivers.

    Right click on the driver executable (.exe) file - select Compatibility Mode

    In the drop-down menu choose XP or Vista and Service Pack (if it is the version
    "you try the drivers).

    Click OK, and then let the race to see if it will install.

    CD \the path to this folder as C:\User\Your user Name\Camera_Folder or something else
    the path is the folder where the driver is unpacked.

    So in this case it would be \User\Your User Name\Camera_Folder CD and the prompt
    look like:

  • Look and Feel of Runtime Android Apps

    Hello

    I wonder why the look and feel of Android apps only differs from that of the rest of the development for BB10 Playbook & platforms. I read somewhere that RIM wants all their apps to be consistent across all platforms and that is why AIR apps and native applications have the same user interface. For example, the way that is menu. the color and size of the title bar, etc. But the Android Runtime Apps are always the Android UI 2.3.3. Will RIM work on this in the future? Or DURATION always Android apps will have different UI than the Native BB10/Playbook apps? And also they plan support the latest Android OS? Because it's really hard back in 2.3.3 so that I can port my app to BB10/PlayBook.

    Thank you

    Knockaert

    Since the Android Runtime is based on Android Gingerbread 2.3.3 menus and controls will be shown as they would on an Android device. Conversion of the menus and interface elements user who will be like native BlackBerry 10 apps could introduce a quantity important issues with Android apps brought as they have not been designed or implemented to the point to be re-stylized.

    However, we are always looking for ways to improve the end-user experience in the Android Runtime.

We will continue to add features of integration like this in the future to reduce the user interface differences between Aboriginal people and applications Android Runtime.
