Change the look of Windows 


Software KB

kb# SW00008
     Windows has a look and feel that's all its own thanks to the default color scheme's use of gray. But if gray isn't your color, don't stick with it. Change your color scheme to something that fits your personality. To customize your display scheme, follow these directions: Single-click the Start button, mouse-over Settings, and then single-click Control Panel. When the Control Panel opens, double-click the Display icon, and then select the Appearance tab. Highlight the current color scheme by single-clicking the text under "Scheme." With the text highlighted, scroll all the available choices by using the up and down arrows on your keyboard. Next, scroll down the Item menu and begin setting things like Scrollbar size, Menu font and size, and Window color. Don't stop customizing until you get the look and feel you're after. When you've finished customizing items, you're going to need to save your creation. To save, hit the "Save As" button. Don't save it as Windows Standard. Think of a name for your new scheme. This is important because if you want to go back to Windows Standard later on, you'll still be able to. After you've typed the name in, hit the OK button. Now, the last thing you need to do is hit the Apply button to watch you new color scheme unfold.
