    Task Bar Color Changes
    « 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



    Many thanks for your help

    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.



      I have't noticed any changes when active.

      I have no theme packs installed

      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 was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.

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