    Have no color in some system taskbar icons in Windows 7

    Upon installation of Windows 7 a few of my system taskbar icons are dull I mean there are no color in my taskbar. In Windows Vista for instance the battery image in the taskbar would demonstrate a green level to designate battery life. One more instance is the network connection image would show green bars to show the frequency of the signal. Is there a method to obtain the color back in these icons? Is there anyone here who knows the method to get this color back? If have then please provide…

    The System image or icons creature white are by design. On the other hand, as IT Specialist talked about there are third party program that can modify that feature. Utilizing third party software, together with hardware drivers can origin serious troubles that may stop your computer from booting correctly. Microsoft cannot assurance that any troubles resulting from the exercise of third party software can be get to the bottom. And yes I am must say that using third party software is at your individual risk.

    I have just improved my friend’s laptop to windows 7. I have the similar trouble; the internet status image and the battery image are empty. Without doubt they are not destined to be blank as the standard green color informs you what sort of connection and how much battery life you encompass? They have small exercise devoid of the colors.

    I as well observed the failure of color in right side tray images later than update to Windows 7 from Vista in novel Acer AS 1410. No wrongdoing to Microsoft, but positioning that this feature is deliberate is strange. As teena_pansare said, devoid of the colors the icons are a lot fewer valuable and understandable. As well while you click to enlarge the icon the images have color as previous to in Vista. Please discontinue the doublespeak and say you will fix this apparent trouble in an update.

    It is intended. They require them to all be white that is the style. They rewarded a team of designers countless money for them to build something stylish, and that is what they came up with. Do you ever go to any car show room and complain about how much you don't akin to the style of the images on the radio in your car? If you don't like the style they came up with, then its fine and I respect you for it. But only because you don't like it, does not mean it is out of order and will be fixed in an update. There won't be an update, because not anything is out of order. You just don't like the style.

    After seeing this problem I investigate about this because the short of color is obviously a taking away of functional information for the user. I had not observed what was pointed out over; that the merely color is the red while the sound is quiet or muted. Moreover that was an error or fault, or the beating of color in the supplementary icons was. There is no doubt in that I believe the latter.
