• Remove the shaded blue icon on the desktop

  the icons on my desktop are dark blue. They seem very irritating. I tried to remove the blue (I need transparent) but no luck. I tried all the options mentioned on the internet (i.e. the performance tab, unlock web items and remove the shadow of the menu), but none of them work. can you please help?

  Check points: -.
  1. in the performance and Maintenance/adjust Visual effects or if you use the classic theme - settings/system/advanced/performance
  'Use the shadows of the desktop icon labels -' must be checked
  2. right click on the desktop, point to arrange icons by and ensure that items Web Lock on Desktop is unchecked;
  3. If you have content web on your desktop, transparency does not do a right click on the desktop. Select properties, then go to the Desktop tab.
  Click on the button customize the desktop, and then open the Web tab.
  Uncheck everything in the box of Web Pages
  Press OK, then apply and OK again.
  4. you can't have a file html as wallpaper, it must be an image file.

  It is sometimes necessary to restart to take effect, sign out and then sign back in.
  You also sometimes have to uncheck things if they are checked, apply, restart if necessary, and then back into the re - check the items.

• Tildes to appear in looking at the pictures on the desktop

  Hi - another quick question... I had a T3i and mostly used the telephoto 55-250, which is 3 1/2 years.  I started noticing when I looked at my pictures on my big screen there was always a 'tilde' darker at the top left of the photo... I never noticed until what I looked at the pictures on the desktop screen, so don't know if that's a problem with the camera or the lens itself.  I have a lens 75-300 also but haven't really checked yet to see if it shows up through a different lens.

  Most of the time, it's "croppable", but not something I want to do, and I also want to make sure that this is not a serious problem.

  What could cause this?  If it IS the LENS, what is the solution?

  I thank very you much for any advice.

  Thank you very much.  I appreciate it.

• Cannot change the font color on the desktop icons

  I am running windows vista. I can't change the font as in windows xp. No matter if the background is dark or the police is always black... Help!

  Hello

  Thanks for posting the question in Microsoft Answers.

  I apologise for the inconvenience.

  Unfortunately, you cannot change the font color of desktop.

  Because desktop wallpaper images have different colors, it is easy for the colors of unreadable fonts if they are on top of the same color in a background image to display. For example, a black font on top a dark part of the background image or a white font on a white part of a background image.

  The desktop icon fonts are dynamic and show white on dark background and change in white with a shadow effect black on a light background.

  In previous versions of Windows, it did not matter what color you chose to fund policies, some would still make invisible because of the background color of a desktop wallpaper. The user was constantly moving icons around the desktop computer to another colorful area where the police could be read. This was the source of a large number of complaints from users asking for a policy that was still visible, regardless of the color that was behind the police.

  However, you can change the theme and see if that helps:

• Dell Latitude 10 ST2: Screen very dark after the Windows Update 8.1 & gameplay of Diablo 2

  Hello community,

  I just got a new Latitude 10 ST2, and I really appreciated the help until after that I updated for Windows 8.1 and played some Diablo 2. For some reason, my brightness is now always very low, regardless of whether the Adaptive brightness in my power management setting is enabled or disabled. I can manually change the brightness, but it has very little effect. It seems that the maximum brightness is really low for a reason any.

  I don't know if Diablo 2 has nothing to do with this problem, but I though that I would include it here because it uses very outdated graphics techniques that seem not very compatible with Windows 8.1. I had to change the compatibility settings of the game executable for Windows XP Service Pack 2, force them to run with 16-bit colors and also to disable the composition of the bureau. After closing the game, icons on the desktop still seemed a little wide (they looked rather 16-bit color and had some weird artifacts) and I had to restart the tablet to correct. After the reboot of the Tablet, the desktop icons were back to normal, but my light issues began to arrive.

  My first attempt at solving this problem was in the shape of the tablet. I used my USB stick that has the factory settings on it to format the Tablet and reinstall Windows 8. The process was a success, and I had no problem of brightness either. However, after the update to Windows 8.1, then by restarting the Tablet, my issue with the brightness came back.

  My second attempt was to try to update my drivers. I ran the auto updater provided with the Tablet, and it updated my BIOS. Unfortunately, it has not fixed the problem at all. Then, I took a look in the BIOS and found levels of brightness in the video section. The parameters are the following:

  Brightness on battery: 7
  Brightness of AC: 15

  I've tried corresponding to the brightness of the battery at 15, but it has no effect. The light problems don't occur that the Tablet is connected to a power outlet or not, I wasn't really that surprised that it didn't work. A maximum brightness of 15 is normal? (what is a percentage?) I don't want to change these settings without knowing exactly what they represent to avoid damage.

  My third attempt has updated the chipset drivers which includes the video driver. I installed the chipset driver and suddenly after that the screen went black a few times during the installation of the brightness has been completely restored and colors looked nice and bright again. However, when I rebooted the Tablet I found that the problems of brightness was back. Very rarely when I restart the Tablet, the brightness is normal again, but it is super rare. A subsequent reboot simply results in brightness problems return immediately.

  A few other things worth noting that come with the light problems:
  -All color gradients are not smooth. You can very clearly see the differences in brightness when a picture goes to a light color to a dark like a lot of buttons in Windows 8 start menu. It reminds me a lot of 16-bit color;
  -Whenever I try to change the display settings in the Intel Graphics and Media Control Panel, nothing happens. No matter how much I fiddle with the brightness, contrast or gamma, nothing changes, even after you apply the settings.
  -Diagnostic in the BIOS tests said that everything is OK;
  -The complete diagnosis provided by the PC Dell Diagnostics program showed that each test passed successfully.

  I really hope that someone can help me with this problem. The screen is also very dark, it makes it quite difficult to use tablet. Thank you!

  Kind regards

  StevenD91

  Thanks for the reply! After much trial and error, I discovered that my graphics driver has been be corrupted by AVG 2014 somehow. After yet another format and reinstall of Windows 8, but without AVG 2014 this time, everything works great! : D

• I cannot keep Adobe Acrobat as my default printer my Windows 10 Pro operating system.  Whenever I restart my system, it is by default in the desktop printer.

  I cannot keep Adobe Acrobat as my default printer my Windows 10 Pro operating system.  Whenever I restart my system, it is by default in the desktop printer.

  One of the possibilities for your deliverance is a questionable feature on by default in Windows 10, changing your default printer to be everything you've printed on last.

  Go to the Windows 10 Settings of the PC and from there, select Printers & Scanners. Note the option to Let Windows manage my default printer. Make sure that this option is set to Off which is not the default. Once you set this option to Off, then set the driver Adobe PDF as a default. Windows hide more with her!

  PS: Yes, it's dark and a pain, but Adobe had no permission in this option and cannot turn by if or turn off!

• Images in lightroom are VERY DARK in the library? Help, please...

  I have been using Lightroom for a while now and have had no problems.  I recently opened lightroom and all images in the library are now extremely dark and contrasty (I did not any changes).
  
  When I open the RAW files in PS or bridge etc they look very well and when I export images from lightroom as JPG they are very good, it seems like it comes from the way in which images are displayed in Lightroom.
  
  What am I I am doing wrong and how can I solve this problem?
  
  Your help is very appreciated.
  
  Thank you

  Since you're under XP: right click on the desktop and open the display settings, color management and see which profile is loaded. If you have an Nvidia card, you will only be able to load a profile for two monitors. If not calibrated manually it should list sRGB as the default profile. If this isn't the case, set the sRGB as the default until you re - calibrate manually.

  You have not to calibrate your screen, you did? You should really get a Sypder - or any other device appropriate to your choice - and calibrate your screen.

• Change the desktops sometimes causes reboot

  Hello! Since the upgrade to Sierra this morning, I found a pretty annoying bug. Several times I have "swept" my Magic Mouse to turn on my second monitor to desktop computers, my iMac mid-2011 restarts. Nothing seems abnormal in Mission Control, but I don't know where else to look for clues on how to prevent this.

  Does anyone else have this problem?

  Hi there HippieBoy!

  Welcome to the communities of Apple Support and thank you for bringing your question about your Magic Mouse having problems switching to the desktop on your second monitor and restart your iMac.  I love being able to use a second monitor and have my iMac spontaneously reboot would get old real fast for me.  It's my pleasure to help you today.

  If you go to System Preferences > accessibility and then remember to uncheck Reduce motion, which should fix this for you.  For more information on the Motion to reduce under macOS Sierra:
