1370054 2014-03-13 07:27:00 Hi guys. turned on the Acer laptop running W7 and found the Taskbar was white. Time was white on Blue? bar but now invisible.
SWMBO was on it last night and says she did not change anything.
Looked for taskbar colour but no luck.
Probably simple- just can't find it.
Ideas welcome.
Thank for any ideas.

1370055 2014-03-13 07:56:00 Go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Personalization\Window Color and Appearance - check that Enable Transparency is turned on - and maybe change the colour scheme Agent_24 (57)

Already tried that. doesn't change.

Ooops. changed to a Windows theme then changed back and it came right.

If the laptop was running from battery, and it got to low Windows7 by default turns off Aero to save power which results in the basic theme.
