If you change your theme to "Windows Classic" then the pale blue will be dark blue.

Yes got that, but what I mean is a little window which lets you select from a drop-down menu, things like, message box/fonts/ size of mouse pointer and the X,- at top right of screen

You may have to change it to windows basic, then choose window color to get that box.

OK thanks, but that is defeating the object I now have my dark colour in dropdown menu, but lost all my other fav: settings


Understand, but why can't you get that 'box' in Windows Classic??

You might have to go back to you original theme to get a screenshot of the things that seem to be missing for you in the classic theme.
