Selective black icons in explorer and themes
Windows 7 Pro; Dell OptiPlex 5050
I have black shortcut icons but not all of them; the fixes I've found here haven't worked.
I'm trying to narrow it down. When I hover from start menu, all icons look fine.
When I actually open (I use Open All Users) Programs, the shortcut icons are black; the same happens when I drill one step further.
Again, when I hover - no matter how far down I drill - the icons are fine.
The other part of the puzzle involves themes. It seems the themes I've modified, show up black in the personalization menu. This did not used to be true. Those themes have showed up fine in preview and I've used them extensively.
This would have been easier to explain if I could have interleaved the images in the narrative but maybe I've given you enough to at least ask questions. I've just previewed and it seems the images are all a-jumble. Ah well.
This is not an end-of-the-world problem. I've put up with it for awhile but it does get annoying and I thought I'd ask for help solving it.
Thanks for 'listening' and appreciation is forthcoming for any ideas.
