Guest Bondpwk Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 re: unexpected task bar change Has anyone encountered a change in the color of the taskbar, it has always been blue and now is a shade of gray. I have checked the task bar and start menu properties dialoge box to see if someone change settings and I do not see any option to change the taskbar color in general. How do I get it back to it's original state ?

You could use System Restore to revert to a date before the change, but it might be easier to open Display Properties, Appearance tab, click Advanced button, "Item: Active Title Bar", change the colors to Deep blue for Color 1, and a lighter blue for Color 2. Or open Display Properties, Themes tab, and load the Windows XP Theme. -- Joe =o)
