    Win7. How to change color of window background?

    I just tried it again. Windows Explorer remains glaring white. Changing the "Window" value via UI results in the respective valve changing inside the "theme" file. In fact, there's no reason to change the file. The problem is that changing the "Window" value (via UI or theme file) does not...

    Why is this appearing on my internet explorer?

    It seems tome that the caps lock is replacing a "bullet" (as in list). You might have removed a font from your system. If not, it could be a virus infection. Give us a link to a page where the problem appears so that we can check it.
