Windows 7 Taskbar/Window Color Problem

Question

Hi. For some reason, my Windows 7 Taskbar color (and Window color) is Light Blue when it's not supposed to be. I've changed my themes a couple of times, but the color is still Light Blue, and not changing. I've opened up the "Window Color" tab, but it shows me stuff like: "To turn on Windows Aero, select a Windows theme." I've never had this experience before, because whenever I opened the Window Color tab, it would show me colors, and a Transparency Slider, and stuff like that.    Please Help!

Answer 1

Hi,

Have you installed any third party themes on your computer?

You are not able to see the Window color and appearance options because you have not selected Aero theme. If you use any other theme, then you cannot

see this window. Each Aero theme comes with different window colors.

Follow these steps:

1. Click on start and then click on control panel.
2. Click on personalization.
3. Select an Aero theme and then click on Window color.

Now you can see the different color options and the color intensity slider in the window color and appearance window.

Also, run the Aero troubleshooter.
