STUCK ON the classic view!

OK, so after a lot of difficulty getting the majority of the classic spit on everything else, it is still stuck on my box "appearance settings".

Directions: Control Panel: appearance and personalization: changing the color scheme

When I do that instead of getting the range of pastel colors with gradients of transparency which is the default in Vista, I NOW have a series of overlapping boxes (inactive/active window and Message box), with choice of scheme colors below.  When I try the 'effects' "Advanced" buttons and try to customize my pre-set 'choice' of Windows Vista Basic, NO color or changes I do EVER take effect.  I HATE this appearance of my "appearance settings".  I want my pastel colors and transparency at the back.

Hi Avoda,

If you see the dialog box appearance instead of the window color and appearance settings, the theme might not be set to Windows Vista, the color scheme might not be set to Windows Aero, or the computer might not meet the minimum hardware requirements for running Windows Aero. For more information, see solving problems with Windows Aero.

To return to the window color and appearance window, you will need to change the Windows Vista aero theme.

1. open appearance settings by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, appearance and personalization, customization, then clicking on the window color and appearance. If the appearance settings dialog box is not displayed, at the bottom of the page, click Open classic appearance properties.
2. in the color scheme list, click Windows Vista Aero, and then click OK.
3. now go back to the Windows appearance, now you will find the window color and appearance window back.

How can I decide to change the color scheme to improve performance?

  • Simulator: stuck in the desktop view

    Using the Simulator http://quirktools.com/screenfly/ I'm stuck in the desktop view:

    Yes, the url of the site you mentioned is a simulator that shows only the display size not the exact workflow on the device.

    You can install any emulator on your computer to check for the specific version of the topology. For the version of the phone, you can use:

    http://www.mobilephoneemulator.com/ this would show similar workflow as in the version of the phone.

    For Tablet, there are emulators for install.

  • Muse/BusinessCatalyst: Opera mini / mobile Opera remains stuck in the desktop view

    After visiting a site of muse and switch to the view of the office, Opera Mini continues to serve it even coming back from the original URL:

    1. create a site.com site with a view of mobile and office.

    2 give the link to get a mobile phone on the desk.

    3. open the site with opera mini.  Charge of the mobile view.

    4. click on the link to access the desktop view.  Muse redirects to something like site.com/phone/index.html?devicelock=phone

    5. put in the URL for the original site, for example. site.com.

    6. now, when you go to the site.com, the URL resolves the site Office.  Incorrectly.

    7. try to clear the history and cache in the mini opera-> same result.

    8 go to the explicit link to phone site.  Then return to the base URL site.com.  Always incorrectly resolves site Office.

  • System is stuck on the classic color palette and don't return to the vista color palette

    I put my laptop on 5000mAh last night and then today I tried to open it but she refused to light because she had no battery, it probably updated itself, then restarted it self during the night (it has happaned before, it is quite old now, 3 years). But when I plugged in and turned on the theme (or so I thought) was classic. So I did the basics and tried to change the theme and and he said that it is on vista, but it just changed my wallpaper, returned and he says it's always on classic. Then tried to change the color scheme and when I click on Aero or basic preview is empty and if I click on apply just going darker. I tried many different things, like going to computor and clicking on manage and relaunch the themes. Went to the windows site and he did not like a check and he told me that the Office Manager wasn't on, I went and it was on and tried to restart my laptop.

    Please is - can anyone help with what I almost reached breaking point here and want to punch my laptop or throw it on the floor

    Suggestions...

    > He told me that the Office Manager wasn't on, I went and it was on and tried to restart my laptop.

    Return to Services and check of theme. See if he's started and automatic.

    Go to the website of your computer manufacturer, check if you using update your graphics card driver.

  • How can I go back to the classic view for Adobe Reader?

    I use the player on my laptop or desktop mainly and the photos slow me down. I want my drop-down menus origin. They make sense to me as well as the Photos take up too much space on my screen and interferes with the way that I like to use the product - who must see the text while I scroll through the options. I find this new interface is very clunky.

    I don't think you can change the GUI of the CD player. at least I've seen no indication that this could be done.

    The only thing you can do is to uninstall the CD player, and then download and reinstall the version earlier than X or XI.

  • My Vista theme, replaced by the classic theme of the Windows while it's self from one day to the next.

    Last night, I used my computer and everything was fine. I used it up to this as 02:00, and everything was fine. When I got up at 8 this morning to get ready for work, I did my usual ritual (bathroom, breakfast, facebook, shower, leaves), and when I got to the part of facebook, I turned on my laptop and noticed he was in the classic view. I searched through every place I can think of (all settings for themes and personalization Control Panel) and found nothing. In particular, when I went to "Change theme" it only shows "Windows classic" as the only option. It bothers me because I hate the Windows Classic view. I mean, it does not affect the functionality of the computer, he looks really old and it's annoying that it cannot be corrected.

    Hello

    The themes service may be having a problem and stopped, we will check:

    1. Windows key + R, in the Run dialog box type services.msc

    2. once in Services, find themes, double click it and make sure that it is set to Automatic and started. If this isn't the case, fix and start it.

    Kind regards

    What do you mean by "Classic view"?

    If you see grouping or sorting, you can right click on an empty spot to use the "sort by" and "group by" options.  If you use 'none' for grouping and set your sizes of icons if you want, it should look like any folder of regular file with files inside.

  • IN WINDOWS 7 HP, HOW CAN I GET RID OF THE CLASSIC SKIN?

    Had a bit of a hiccup and lost my favorite settings now am stuck with the Classic skin... tried hsve appearance & personalization... have a few themes registered here but I'm stuck... for now I'm stuck with windows XP opening the files and also my programs list is white... so too my keyboard on the screen... etc... Thank you...

    Couple of things to try:

    1 Type "Aero" (without the quotes) and click Run - 'find and fix problems with transparency and other Visual effects

    2 type "services" (without the quotes) and click on "services" in the list of results. Make sure that "Thèmes" are listed as automatic and started. You will need to be at the level of the admin to change it, then right click on services in the results and click on run as administrator if you need to start.

    EDIT - also check this:

    3 (mode icon display no categories) . Government, click . In the [Advanced] tab, under 'performance', click on . Make sure "Use Visual Styles on Windows and buttons" is checked. Apparently, some say it might stop other than in some cases classic themes.
