• Unexpected colour scheme change
    10 replies, posted
So, last night, I went to bed, and I put my laptop in sleep mode like I normally do, nothing unusual there. But this morning when I woke up, and started up my laptop, I saw that the colour scheme had changed somehow for all programs except, for some reason, MSN. Screens: What it looked like when I started up this morning: [IMG]http://i32.tinypic.com/2lkxmbs.jpg[/IMG] What it should look like (MSN): [IMG]http://i27.tinypic.com/14mrwqw.jpg[/IMG] This is more a minor annoyance than anything, but I appreciate any help given. Oh, and I did the obvious stuff, looking though the appearance menu and such.
I do not see anything. Am I missing something?
The title bars for the different programs. [editline]12:14PM[/editline] It's happened with Windows Media Player too. A few days ago: [IMG]http://i26.tinypic.com/348nfdk.jpg[/IMG] Today: [IMG]http://i30.tinypic.com/33bj1as.jpg[/IMG]
Right click on your desktop, go to Personalize, Window Colour and Appearance, check if it's set to the right colour and that transparency's enabled. Alternatively, you've just run a program that doesn't work with Aero, so Vista automatically changed it but hasn't changed it back for some reason. Restart your comp.
Can't believe that I was so dumb that I didn't think to restart. :downs: That sorted it, thanks.
God that's annoying. :v: Yeah, when in doubt, restart. Failing that, kick it down the stairs.
The aero task crashed. Dwm.exe Launch task manager and click file>new task then put that in. Aero will relaunch
[QUOTE=jordguitar;17284165]The aero task crashed. Dwm.exe Launch task manager and click file>new task then put that in. Aero will relaunch[/QUOTE] Actually a simple "net start uxsms" in CMD will do the trick as DWM.exe never closes unless the user him/herself closed it manually.
Looks like the "Flat -Ice" steam skin. [editline]12:23PM[/editline] [img]http://storefront.steampowered.com/v/img/whatsnew/010807/GamesList_FlatIce.png[/img]
