Aximsitex50icon Can somebody help me please?

Can somebody help me please?

I need to know if anyone is having the same problem I'm having. It's driving me a little crazy

When I choose the Dell default theme and run tasks, contacts, calender or file explorer I get blue lines running along my screen... starting right and fading left. I also get a blue haze on the windows default theme.

Has anybody else had this problem?

Some say it's the theme. But most of the themes (99.9%) have this blue line problem. Is it not either a unit screen problem or another MW5 bug?

I will attach a picture so you can look, see and compare!

Any advice will be welcomed!! I really appreciate your time.

That's just the background of tasks, contacts, calender and file explorer. Annoying, isn't it? I guess you have to pick a theme that doesn't use that background. My WM 2003se machine doesn't have it in File Explorer. Maybe there's a setting? Search for registry tweaks.
Anybody else know?

These colors are adjustable. In Dell's themefile (.tsk) they picked this color. It isn't an OS bug, but just a bad color choice by Dell.

Thanks

Really, thanks alot for your advice Yes it 's a shocking choice by Dell But like I said I find a lot of the themes I download have these blue lines on them and the Windows default one has a blue haze. Thought it was either a fault with the unit or bad programming by Microsoft.

If this is adjustable, how do I "adjust" it out? Can you recommend a program to do this?

Again, I do really appreciate your help!! Your advice is golden


Regards,
Rodders

You can also get theme editors if you really like either of those theme's and you can edit out the lines in the background. Microsoft has a good theme generator...or if you want a cool little "color/theme" editor click on the following link:

The fool, anxious to appear wise, blurts out what he thinks is wisdom but in the process turns it to folly.

You can create your own themes. Download and install in your PDA TKCreater. It's free. You can load a picture and choice the background color you want. You save the new theme and then you should activate this one under Start -> Settings -> Today.
