  1. Colors mixed up


    So I have not changed anything in windows, and just today file explorer and basically any thing that highlights is has a weird color to it.

    For example, on the desktop when I try to highlight multiple applications, there is a yellow box with an aqua outline to it rather than a white one. In file explorer, the font is green and the toolbar at the top is black. The file, home, share, and view buttons all go aqua when I select them.


    How do I reverse this?

    :)

  2. How to change Desktop selection box color

    Try the following steps, and check if it helps.


    • Press Windows + R keys.

    • Type in regedit into the text box and press Enter.

    • Follow the path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Colors.

    • On the right pane, look for the value of HotTrackingColor.
    Select a color and copy your color numbers

    http://www.rapidtables.com/web/color/RGB_Color.htm

    It is given in three values representing the ratios of red, green and blue that range from 0 to 255.


    • Enter values that mix to the color you want to have.

    • Repeat the above step for the value of Hilight.

    • Restart the computer.
