    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

    There is a way to bring back the color that you want, but I do not know what it is. 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.

    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. :)

    Simply restarting the computer worked.
