Any apps to enable more color customization for Windows 7 interface?

Windows 7's default UI customization feature set is lacking and incomplete.  Any apps that can solve this?
Personally, I would be interested in an app for Windows 7 that will allow changing the "glow" color around the text of windows' titles.  Because I use a dark theme and the current unchangeable white glow clashes with my dark theme.  I would like
to be able to set that glow to black and my windows’ title text to white.
Additionally, there is a permanent light blue tinting on a lot of the Windows 7 UI.  I would prefer to set that to gray so it can fit universally with any color theme.  Or better, be able to adjust the color of the tinting.
And then there is the green progress bar--I personally would prefer to be able to set that to a blue.  Or better, be able to set that to any color.

Hi,
To set the color of Windows Title bar, please go to Windows Color and Appearance to check the result.
Right click desktop -> Personalization -> Windows Color -> in the item list, choose
Active Title Bar -> change its color 1 and 2
To change the color of the tinting, please refer to the following steps.
1. Make sure your computer's brightness is on full.
2. Go to Start -> Control Panel -> Display.
3. On the left bar, click Calibrate Color.
4. Follow on the on screen instructions to correct your gamma.
5. After you're done with this, on the next screen click "Skip brightness and contrast adjustment"
6. Click next, then you'll l be on the color balance adjustment screen, which is where you will correct the blue tint.
The slider on the right where the color blue is located, slide the slider to the left 3 notches. Adjust as needed based on your screen.
7. On the next page you'll have the ability to switch between what you had it on previously and what you set it to.
To set the green progress bar to blue, please see if the following article is helpful.

  • IMac has few display options, any way to enable more?

    This is my uncle's iMac () and there are a lack of options for resolution. He's running @ 1920x1200 but the next level down is 1344x840. Is there any way to enable more resolutions between those 2, as it seems like a fairly big drop in resolution settings.
    Thank you.

    Since the hardware acceleration checkbox was created, a second kind of acceleration was added to Firefox that may need to be disabled in about:config; the checkbox has not been extended to toggle both of them for you.
    Regular preference (checkbox): gfx.direct2d.disabled (default=false)<br>
    Added preference (no checkbox): gfx.content.azure.enabled (default=true)
    More info on the new preference in this thread: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/957459
    If you haven't used about:config before, here's how:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the filter box, type or paste '''gfx''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click '''gfx.content.azure.enabled''' to toggle its value from true to false. As with the regular hardware acceleration preference, you might need to restart Firefox before this takes effect.

  • T61: Keyboard Customizer for Windows 7

    Hello Everyone,
    today I upgraded from Windows XP(32bit) to Windows 7 (64bit). After setting up the operating system I used Lenovo System Update to install all necessary drivers etc. But finally I recognized, that there is no "Keyboard Customizer for Windows 7" on the Lenovo website  . In the office I'm using my laptop in an advanced minidock and have an external keyboard (Lenovo Enhanced USB keyboard) for input.
    Using the Keyboard Customizer it was possible to emulate the missing Fn-Button on the external keyboard  for example using Strg+Alt+Fx. This way it was possible to use all the combinations of Fn+F2 to Fn+F12 with an external keyboard.
    What can I do to get this functionality  on Windows 7 systems?
    There is not installer in the download section for T61 (only Windows XP and Windows Vista). Does anyone know if Lenovo will provide one later on or if the Version for Windows Vista can be used?
    Kind Regards
    KingTutt
    PS: There is also no Presentation Director for Windows 7.

    Hello,
    Have you tried running the ThinkVantage System Update program to update any Windows Vista-era ThinkVantage software on your T61 to their applicable Windows 7 counterparts?

    Yes. However I personally find it easier and more reliable on a Mac.
    For Windows considers the following, Foobar 2000 with iTunesEncode, I believe the free version of dbPowerAmp can also do this with a plugin. Other than that Super see http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html can do this and many other conversions but is not aimed at handling music files and as such is likely to not preserve the tags.
    The best tool is XLD for Mac.

  • More Color Schemes For Zen Micro / Microph

    Hey everybody, I think there should be more new color schemes for our products that we could download. That seem s like a kool idea. Maybe we could even have custom schemes.

    Not a great idea for the Micro, the monochrome is fine, just the way it is. I can't speak for the MicroPhoto though.

  • How to publish a Windows 8.1 store app to cover the old version for Windows 8 app

    Hi, 
    We need to publish a Windows 8.1 store app which is a Universal app, and there has have a Windows 8 app in store , we completely rewrite the application and now we hope user can upgrade it from old version other than install a new one. We plan to emulate
    the updating process but didn't find any methods.
    do you have any ideas about this?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    The scenario of the Windows 8/8.1 app is that- (VS=Visual Studio)
    -If the app is build in VS2012 in Windows 8 then it will available for both Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 users
    -If the app is build in VS2013 in Windows 8.1 then it will available only for Windows 8.1 users only.
    You can use the Visual Studio 2013 Express (free available) in Windows 8.1 and retarget the old Windows 8 app to Windows 8.1 by following this link
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/dn263114.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
    The user will now get-
    -Windows 8.1 app if running Windows 8.1
    -Windows 8 app if running Windows 8
    Basically if you want to develop/give updates simultaneously to users then use VS2012 and VS2013 on Windows 8.1 and work on both to have universal apps.

  • How to install or enable Acrobat X SDK for Windows

    Ok down that I have downloaded Acrobat X SDK for Windows. 
    DUUUU How do I install it?? The only setup.exe is located in Visual Studio App Wizard. 
    I have Professional X.....do I add it from this program some how? 
    thanks
    mike

    There is nothing to install as such.
    SDK is basically set of public headers , documentation related to them and some samples to demonstrate the usage of these public APIs to write third-party plugins/samples.
    You can write your own Acrobat/Reader plugin/App using the SDK.
    The setup.exe you found is the plugin-wizard which will install template for Acrobat Plugin on VS9. If you are developing on VS9, it will be useful for you to install this template.
    Please refer to the SDK Documentation for the details on how to use the SDK (for writing plugins).

    I try to disabled mls qos only for one interface, but when i do it, mls qos is globally disabled. Is it possible to do it ?

    XXX#
    XXX#show mls qos
    QoS is disabled
    QoS ip packet dscp rewrite is enabled
    Thanks in advance for your help !!
    Denis

    Hi Denis,
    You cant disable the QOS on per interface on 2960 devices.
    By default, QoS is disabled. When we enable QoS all ports
    will be assigned to queue-set 1. We can configure up to two
    different queue-sets.
    Hence if you remove the qos out of the interface it would be disabled globally as well.

  • Pages background color customization for poster template?

    HOw can I customize the color of the background on the template poster on pages for iPad? It is normally blue and I would like to change it.

    Hi Satyadev,
    You have 3 options:
    Within the forms builder you can get a white background by setting the form to either "border" or "no border".  This is done by clicking anywhere on the form (where there is no other element) and modifying the "style" property
    You can modify the portal theme so that the background colour is your choice.  However this will affect all forms in the portal, not just this one.
    Or you can manually modify the form XSL stylesheet.  This involves typing the html code to apply your chosen colour.  However, this modification is lost if you re-generate the XML forms project, so this should be a last resort.
    Hope this helps,
    Chris

  • Chart color customization for Sentinel Log Manager (and RD)

    Hi all,
    I am trying to customize the color of the chart provided by the SDK. I
    based on the
    top 10 Report as modification. The default severity 0 color is WHITE.
    I tried to change the files of color_RGB.csv or Key_color.csv of the
    entry to GREY4 but
    it turns out it is not reading it at all during build-report.xml.
    Does it mean:
    1) I have to put those csv files in parameter directories?
    2) Do I have to run the autoparam build?
    3) Or I have to work with JFreeChart via the eclipse and rebuild the
    java files first?
    Thanks,
    Geoffrey

    The original csv files are in the AA-common directories. I changed it,
    and using the build-report.xml. The result is negative. The chart
    severity color does not change.
    So I put the modified csv files into the parameter directors under by
    report build directory. Same problems.
    So from the documents, it should be referring to the csv files to
    define color mapping. So I cannot be sure where to put those files or do
    some java programming with JFreeChart in order to achieve it.
    Thanks,
