How can I change or adapt the window color in the Win-7 basic design?


Changing the window color in the basic design under Windows 7 and Server 2008 can be implemented very easily.




In contrast to Microsoft's Windows 10 and 8.1, you can change some of the design under Windows 7, which is no longer the case in the new Windows. Even the old desktop display of Windows 98/95 and NT 4.0 is possible here.

1.) Change to the basic design to change the Windows window colors! 


Does not work in the Windows 7 basic design, but in all other basic designs, such as in "Windows Classic" or "Windows Contrast", as well as Aero,   

click with the right mouse button on the desktop, the desktop menu appears, just click on "Customize"

(... see Image-1 Point 1 to 3)

Then set the basic design to Windows Classic and adapt the color to your individual needs

(... see Image-2)

According to Microsoft help, it should also work with the standard "Windows 7 basic design" . Unfortunately, it doesn't work, at this point, beauty comes before purpose and function ;-).

In the Aero Design you can also adjust the Windows 7 window color!

If you want to activate Windows Aero, select a Windows 7 theme. Some of the colors, fonts and sizes selected here only apply if you have selected the Windows 7 base theme or a theme with high contrast. -

Colors and sizes selected for elements are only used if you have selected a Windows Classic or High Contrast theme.

If a different design is applied, you cannot change colors and sizes for elements.

In Windows 7 Aero



In Windows-7 Aero you can also adjust the transparency. By setting the color intensity, this is also adjusted indirectly! ( ... see Image-4 Point 1 to 3 )

ATTENTION! 

If you move the slider far to the right, the start menu, window and taskbar may no longer be transparent (if activated) because the color will be too dark. You'd just have to slide a little to the left to lighten the color again.

3.) What should I watch out for when changing colors under Windows?


If you selected Windows 7 Basic Themes and High Contrast themes , the Window Color and Appearance screen in step 2 does not appear. Instead, go to step 2.
When you have chosen from the Aero themes, you will see the Window Color and Appearance screen!

(... see Image-3 Point 1)

You cannot adjust the font size in Aero Design, you have to use external solutions!
