Solved How do I get the old Color Scheme window open?

I was changing my color scheme for my computer, and I accidently pressed something that makes it open a different color scheme changer window which only changes colors of old-style windows. How do I get the old Vista color scheme changer to come back up again?

Normally, if I click "Change the Color Scheme" on Control Panel, the Color Scheme that came with Vista comes up, but because of my accident, it shows this instead:




And it's useless. It only changes the colors of old style taskbars, windows etc, even if I make it Windows Vista Basic, which is the highlighted setting.



So how do I get the old Vista one to come up again?

Hello Peter,

You will just need to select the Windows Aero theme in your screenshot above and apply it first. Afterwards, you should see the normal "Windows and Color" screen when you open "Change the Color Scheme" next.

Hope this helps,
