Windows Theme Changed After Returning From Safe Mode
It has been about five months since I moved from an XP laptop to 7.
At first I used a Classic Windows Theme. But I reluctantly gave it up for Aero when I learned that switching to Aero was the solution to the tearing I was experiencing when playing video files or streaming video.
For some reason Safe Mode still has my Windows Classic Theme (and I don't see a Personalization option in Safe Mode). But when I exit Safe Mode, I always find that "regular" Windows has switched me back to the Classic Theme. Odd. It's not currently a big deal, because I just go to Personalization and click on my customized Aero theme, and I'm back. In fact, I wouldn't give this behavior a second thought, except that at some future point I might have multiple Areo themes created, and when I return from Safe Mode I might not recall which one I had been using. Again, not a big deal, but it could be a bit of an inconvenience. Besides, I'm wondering why Safe Mode doesn't have Aero. Is that normal? And is it normal to revert back to Classic every time you exit Safe Mode?
After (continuing) to deal with a frustrating hardware issue, spending a few minutes on a relatively benign one like this is...refreshing. :)
