To be complete, I'll show you how your Taskbar would look with that last color scheme below. A sharp observer would notice that the color of the Start button will always stay green. There is no way to change this, except with some 3rd party tools such as stardock.
If you right-click on the Taskbar, and choose Properties , you'll get a number of additional customization choices:. Most of these will be quite self-explanatory, so I will just mention Group similar taskbar buttons here.
This new function is designed to reduce taskbar "crowding" by grouping similar Windows under one task button if the remaining space on the taskbar is running out. Also note the context menu when right-clicking on a button group , which has the option to minimize or close all the Windows of the group with just one click. Now the default behaviour is that Windows will group task buttons by age the oldest group first.
I have XP on my desktop also, can the taskbar look and colours be changed? Right now it has the Green start button and the blue taskbar. Which is more efficient for Vista, Win7 and XP? To have the themes or to revert to the older styles? I make music and do photo and video editing. I have read numerous tweaking articles for peoples systems, they are useful for laptops, and needed to deal with latency.
Some articles state that the themes drain the cpu, gpu, etc. But what about XP? Start up your computer and right click with your mouse on any clear space don't click on any part of the taskbar or on any icons — a menu should appear. In this menu, select Properties. Select the option for Appearance in the menu that appears.
Click on the active title bar. Click on Start Run and then type services. Now the services control panel will open. Scroll down till you see Themes. The status should be running and not stopped. If stopped, then set to Started. You should now be able to use themes on your computer. Open Group Policy Start Run Type: gpedit. Let us know if this helps.
