Windows Update Changed Colors
Yesterday's Windows 7 monthly update changed the colors, for example, Active Title Bar, in Windows Classic theme. I can't get them back.
After I saw that everything was blue, I went into Personalize -> Window Colors and changed the Active and Inactive title bar colors from blue to gray. This didn't look right, so I tried to find a blue for the secondary color. None of the standard colors look right.
Part of the problem is that I don't really remember exactly what it used to look like. All I know is, the way it's looked for the last 13 years or whatever is different from how it looks now. And I find it jarring every time I use a program, like IE 11.
Uninstalling the 3 updates (.net, monthly rollup, malicious software removal tool) might restore them, although this seems like a lot of trouble.
It is beyond me why they would bother to change this so late in the lifecycle of a product that is considered so obsolete.
Anyone have any suggestions on how to restore the default Windows Classic colors?
