Classic Shell: Forum

For the start menu:
Right click desktop, select personalize, then color

For the taskbar:
right click the start button, and select settings
type color into the searchbox
hit the [...] button next to "Taskbar Color:"

Jcee can you reset the colors windows ?

windows color has no default state other than the one picked on install.. you can always pick that color again

Jcee if you change the color in the start menu:
what colors are you changing ?

Changing the color through personalization affects the start menu, taskbar, and theme color (the color on top of explorer and other windows)
If you change the colors through classic shell, you are changing the colors of the taskbar, and the colors of the other start menus. It doesn't affect the one built into windows 10 (the one your using). Which is why I had to change the color from the personalization menu

Jcee if you change the color in the start menu:
i in Windows 10 personalization what colors are you changing ?

The colors it changes are shown in the preview image here:

Jcee I get it The colors it changes are shown in the preview image here: the bright blue ?

Yes, everything blue in that image, except the wallpaper is caused by that setting (except the taskbar that is currently being overridden by classic shell)

Jcee from the four screen shots of Windows 10 color I showed you for the start menu:?
even if it is in Windows 10 personalization you have to change it their can I tell you the color I want I know it is not a code I know the code you can give me is for the taskbar ?

The colors for those screenshots are available in the personalization menu. No need for a code to change them

Jcee The are available in the personalization for the menu and you can give me the code for the taskbar ?

Which color do you want for the taskbar?

Jcee this is the personalization menu screen shot in windows the red around the blue means the one am using for my menu color ?

Yes, the one with the blue outline is the current color

Jcee I will try different menu colors and I can always go back to the blue outline is the current color ?

Yes you can always go back to the blue one by selecting it again

Jcee
screen shot in the personalization menu I can not see where the color blue is it in your personalization menu

That exact color is no-longer available, it was only available in the earlier version of windows 10
To get closer to that color, you need to change this setting below the colors:

Jcee got it can I how you have your windows 10 start menu ?

If you want the windows 7 look. However If you are happy with what you have now, just keep that.
You have already tried it before, so its up to you. Its not really any better than the windows 10 style, just different

Jcee I will try differrent ways and tell you the colors

Jcee what look is this ?

That is a look that is not available. It was the early version of the windows 10 start menu

Jcee look at this video how do I get little icons to look the way it dose http://microsoft-news.com/windows-10-bu ... tore-apps/

Right click the icons, and select resize
Then set them to medium or large

Jcee are theses the icon apps I mean in the video ?

Some of them are, but not every app they have is installed.
You should only have the apps for things you use in your menu, anything else is just a waste of space

Jcee in the screen shot dose this mean you can make the menu two different colors ?

Only if the other color is black
Use this setting

Jcee yes I think I want two color I just have to tell you a taskbar color to use I will

Jcee here a screen shot of the taskbar color I want

Set all the settings like this screenshot.

Jcee I sent a email to you ?

Jcee the classic theme, does change the colors of webpages in firefox to

Generally no, the classic theme is a bit of an exception to that (similar to the high contrast themes)
