Wallpaper won't change a solid color.

This computer for a clean installation of Windows 7 ultimate (64 bit) recently and now I can't change my background with a solid color.

For a week or more now that I got the Win7 default background and in did not bother to change, when I tried until today that I could not and do not see that the back on the ground.

Symptoms:

After a right-click on the desktop and selecting 'Customize', I am taken to the menu "Control Panel > appearance and personalization > personalization ' appropriate.

Themes can be selected, and Aero themes will change the sounds and the "window color" correctly. "My themes" can be selected with similar results. At no time will be chosen one of the Preload or personally made topics, change the wallpaper.

If you have selected the 'Desktop Background' the menu 'Desktop Background' option appears. The first round of available backgrounds are "solid color" list drop-down option. By selecting one of them WILL change the color of the desktop.  Select any s "Image location" menu drop-down available down allows viewing and selection of all the images available (Windows Desktop Backgrounds, pictures, Top Note library: Photos, colors, and photos of Josh [personal photos stored in a file on my desktop]), Aly or all of these pictures can be selected, but none of them apply, even if the user clicks on the save changes"" button.

If a slide show is selected record of changes made return me to the "Personalization" menu, the unsaved theme is selected and selected photos stack shows up as the desktop image on the icon (not by the real desk top) for less than 2 seconds before returning to a solid color.

So far, I read messages similar to this one, I have:

Confirmed that 'remove background images' under 'Making the computer easier to see' is not checked.

made a "clean boot" via MSCONFIG

Verified that my version of windows is valid

updated all my drivers (nvidia 9600gt video card with new win7 64 drivers) system

attempted to use the "set as background Image" of these two IE8 and locally in my pictures folder

Thanks for any help you can offer me, I don't really like on the slide show feature, I just want to be able to define an image manually at this stage.

  • 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:

  • Solid color behind the text of the desktop icons

    Is it possible to have a solid color behind the text of the icons in Windows Vista/7/8/10 without using a third-party software?

  • How to change the font color

    as in the subject...

    I have a class that extends the VerticalFieldManager and paint method:

     

    public void paint (Graphics _g) {}

    Super.paint (_g);

    _g.setColor (Color.Black);

    _g.fillRect (0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight());

    _g.setColor (Color.Red);

    _g.drawRect (0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight());

    }

    So what I have is a black rectangle with red edges.

    later in another part of the program, I make an object of this class and I want to add a TextField to write to him. the problem is, the font color is black and is also the background of my rectangle. I want to change the font color in the TextField in white, but I have problems. I tried to crush paint method as follows:

    _Tf TextField = new TextField() {}

    Public Sub paint (Graphics _g)

    Super.Paint (_g);

    _g.setColor (Color.White);

    }

    but it won't help.

    Anyone know how to solve?

    concerning

    Make the call to setColor before calling super.paint (...).  Although you might need to save/restore the current color

    {} public void paint (Graphics g)

    oldColor int = g.getColor ();

    g.setColor (Color.WHITE);

    Super.Paint (g);

    g.setColor (oldColor);

    }

    The color setting is perhaps an exaggeration, but you can play with it.  I remember in the past where I had put the red label text, then a bunch of controls designed after it was all red.

  • Help needed Illustrator - apparently is no longer able to change the line color of the open/closed contours.

    Hi, I'm new (very) to Illustrator so please go easy. I'm in a bit of a pickle and would very much help to get out!

    I created an illustration using the pen tool, making a series of paths open and closed (below), all stroked them in the color purple. I then used the Shapebuilder Ranger a few areas of intersection.

    Later, I started using live paint to color block the form contained in the paths, however, when I try to change the outline of these 'forms' that won't happen.

    I tried releasing the images of live paint and changing the line color of the sketch (i.e. opening and closing original tracks), but this does not work either.

    Any advice?

    Inside a live paint group you must activate the coloring of the traits.

    To do this, double-click the live paint tool.

    When you expand a live paint group, fills and strokes is separated. You get a group that has all the traits and another which has fillings.

    You will need to inspect it in the layers panel, and then select the Group of traits in order to change.
