Theme Problem I was trying to take a quick prntscreen, I tried to hit alt+printscreen, but i must have miss keyed somehow. Well whatever I pressed, popuped up a little message saying some color was changed. Now none of my title bars are are transparent, they are all a solid sky color. I tried going in and changing my theme back, but nothing I do works! I tried following some of the tutorials here, but somethings not matching up. I select the windows 7 aero theme, then I click on window color, but it does not popup the screen with the transparency options. It pops up the old windows window color menu. Here is a screenshot Imageshack - theme Please help, I'm really disliking how this looks | My System Specs |

You could research and wait for others and if you get the right answer, great. If you get tired of waiting try system restore, I am sure it will work. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell XPS 420 OS Windows 7 Home Premium SP1, clean install, upgrade disc CPU Intel Core2 processsor Q8200(2.33Ghz 1333FSB) Quad Core Tech Motherboard Dell Memory 6 gb Graphics Card ATI Radeon 256MB HD3650 Sound Card Intergrated 7.1 Channel Audio Monitor(s) Displays Dell SP2009W 20" Keyboard Dell USB Keyboard Mouse Dell Premium Optical USB Cooling Fan Hard Drives 640 GB Serial ATA Hard drive Internet Speed DSL 2.85 |

First, "Welcome to the Seven Forums" 
Now for the silly question: Did you attempt a restart to see if that fixed the problem?
If so then attempt a system restore. This is usually the easiest way to fix unwanted problems.
If system restore doesn't work please post back here for more help, Good Luck. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP Pavilion a4302f OS Win 7 Pro x64, VM Win XP, Win7 Pro Sandbox, Kubuntu 11 CPU AMD Athlon(tm) II X4 640 @ 3.0 Gbz Memory 12GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x4GB, 2x2GB Graphics Card ATI Radeon HD 4350 HD Graphics/Audio with 512MB Sound Card Realtek High Definition Audio Monitor(s) Displays 1.
