How do I customize the appearance of the window borders?

Jerry,

Here's the screen shot. The "show desktop" shortcut is the icon at the far right. Unfortunately, the orb is gone, as you can see. Also, how can I change the background of the taskbar to a darker gray?

Thanks!

Did you do:
You will need to do 1 of these 2 ways of Enabling custom themes for it to work.
Enabling Custom Themes - Windows 7
Or
Theme - How to Apply Custom Themes

If so which one?

Jerry

Switch to the default aero theme then:
Click on the Start Button type in Services In the search box and then click on Services


Scroll down until you see unsigned themes select it in click on the Stop text and let it stop after that click on Start text and see if the theme works. Your screen may blink when you do this.

Hi Jerry,

Hmm. Unfortunately, I don't see any unsigned themes in my services. Anyway, I can switch back to the default aero theme, but then it seems like we're back to square one, as far as the two-toned window borders are concerned. I have saved any adjustments into separate themes, so I can switch easily now.
Thanks

Go to Programs and Features from the Control Panel and see if UxStyle Core Beta is installed.


Did you use the right one (x86 or x64)?

You're Welcome, good to hear you got it.
