Changing the Color SchemeChanging the Color SchemeWindows 7, like Windows Vista before it, features the Aero interface, which offers a nice combination of translucent (see-through) colors. You can change the color scheme, however, as well as the level of translucency used in windows frames, the taskbar, the Start menu, and other onscreen elements.To change the color and translucency in Windows 7, follow these steps:. Right-click anywhere on the desktop and click Personalize from the pop-up menu. When the Personalization window appears, click Window Color.
Win 7 Change Taskbar Color
When the Window Color and Appearance window appears, as shown in, click the color scheme you want. To make the onscreen windows more transparent, move the Color Intensity slider to the left. To make the windows more solid, move the slider to the right. Click Save Changes.
Left-click a blank section of the taskbar. Hold the left mouse button and drag the taskbar to it's new location. You can hold and drag to the top, left, or right of the screen. Release the mouse button. The taskbar is now in the chosen location on your screen. Reset the taskbar to its original position. How can I change the taskbar color when not using Aero? I have a reasonably powerful computer but I like to pinch every bit of speed I can get.
