  • I can't customize my window color and appearance to change the transparency and color of the window.

    Tuesday night I had to re-charge/reinstall Windows Vista because I had some problems with the worms and Trojans. After that I have re-installed Windows, I was able to customize my resolution and my window color and appearance. Once I installed all the 106 updates of Windows, I was finally able to change my resolution but I still not able to change my window color and appearance. Before I reloaded Windows I could change the transparency of the windows and taskbar and the tone of the colors, etc., but now all I can choose themes default and such of older versions of Windows. I was told that after I downloaded and installed all the updates, I'd be able to do, but I'm still not able to do. Is there a reason why and is there a any solution for this? Drivers? Material? Thank you. :) I hope this has been detailed enough.

    Hi Nicole,.

    In the services dialog box, double-click the themes service. On the Recovery tab, set the first and second failure of the drop-down lists "restart the service". If she is still unable to start/restart, open the event viewer for Windows Logs\System and locate the failure event. Post back with the information found here.

  • Message box color settings disabled when you use the dialog "Windows color and appearance".

    When you use the configuration dialog box 'Window color and appearance', why are there color settings invalid?  I want to remove the default 'Pastel Pink' value that I find unacceptable.

    I can switch to "Classic Windows" that uses no pastel pink color, but "Classic Windows" does not support "Aero Peek", and the windows look pretty tired.  You can only take "Classic Windows" for many years.

    Color settings are disabled for: buttons, Message box, title of Palette, scroll bar.

    Help, please!

    Me too I'm frustrated by that.   Found the old windows with very honest XP environment.   I used the advanced settings, but has not found a way to save the changes with a label, so I knew that the changes you made.   It is just Frigging trial and error and very frustrating.

    Why are there no way to return either to the default value (not found a default label) or save the settings changed under a name?    It is a productivity KILLER.

    Hello

    Interface user of Windows 7 is theme based. The colors are defined by the theme.

    You still have many color options that can be used to change the colors.

    Right click on the desktop and select Personalize. Click on the color of the window at the bottom of the window box.

    You can select one of the colors in the boxes colored at the top.

    Adjust the intensity of the color with the cursor.

    Click on the color down mixer and you can a lot of variations on all the different color choices.

    I hope this helps.

At this point, the problem was that any stage of Windows Update was available.

    Here is some other information about the Windows updates for you, I put in place some time and which you may find useful if you are having problems with Windows updates:

    Microsoft gives sometimes you updates for the 3rd party hardware: graphics, network cards, etc.

    You must only obtain the latest drivers for them to the site of the real hardware manufacturer, like Microsoft normally does not have these latest drivers available as Microsoft invokes the material part 3rd RTOS provide.

    But unfortunately, the only way to know which is the update of the problem is to install them one by one, until you find the 'wrong' for your installation.

    You can do a system restore to get back until it has been installed (which is NOT the best way to remove an update) or follow this method:

    'Remove an update'

Only advanced users should use this option.

    Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them - if you select this option, you'll be alerted when there are new updates available for download and install. You can then choose to download and install the updates that you want.
