Title: Task Bar Color Changes
Post by: El_Baz on August 08, 2019, 01:19:00 PM
Can some on help me please.  My task bar periodically changes color...this has only started since late this afternoon.

Img 1 is the task bar as I have set it.

Img 2 is the color it changes to.

It stays like that for a few seconds then the computer goes to sleep.

Img 3 shows my power settings

You sayin it changes when active...not on re-boot or other ? ?

PS...expand your power save window so we can see all settings.
Do you have any theme packs installed ?

Is this what you mean by expanding the power save window?
On the left the top one is turn off hard disc.

Looks to me like Image one has transparency enabled, and Image 2 does not. Perhaps you recently changed your Window Color options which made the switch more noticable.

I installed Windows a few months ago and have not changed the color options since.
