    My Windows 10 display and drop down menus turned black plus multiple colors


    Searching a safe website today, I noticed I could hardly read the light color of the text and pictures. That was the beginning of my nightmare. Then the display turned black with white text. I followed several suggestions but one of them turned the black center display white but left the drop down menus and other areas black. The above is not right for my vision so I kept trying other suggestions but now the display went back to black including drop down menus and everything else. When I need the computer the most it has failed me. I can hardly do anything... Too many colors and the whole thin

  2. Changing menu window colors

    Hi Poleson,



    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.



    I understand the frustration, when things don't work the way it should.

    We apologize for inconvenience caused.



    I would suggest you to follow these steps and check, if it works.

    However, you can change the color of your windows borders and taskbar. Right click on desktop and click on Personalization, click on color option and check.



    On the same screen, you have Display option in the left pane, click on it. You can change the size of all items and change only the text size of Title bars, Menus, Message boxes, Palette titles, Icons and Tooltips.



    a. Click on the "Start" icon and choose "Control Panel."

    b. Click on the "Customize colors" link located under the
    Appearance and Personalization
    option.

    c. Select a theme to use for all opened windows. Click on the theme of your choice.

    d. Click on the "Advanced" button to edit colors.

    e. Click on the "Item" drop-down list. Color choices will appear each time you select an item to customize.

    f. Click on the "Active Window Border" and click on the "Color 1" drop down menu.

    g. Choose a basic Windows color from the swatches menu. Click on "Other" to customize the color choice.

    h. Select the "Menu" item from the drop down list. Click on "Color 1" to choose the new toolbar color. Use "Other" to choose a custom color.

    i. Move the black arrow on the right side to select the color darkness. Move the swatch icon around the color display to pick a color.

    j. Click on "OK" once the new toolbar color has been chosen. This will close the color swatch window.

    k. Click on "OK" to exit the theme picker window.

    l. Click on "Apply" to confirm the new toolbar color and close the window.



    Hope this information helps you. Reply to the post with an updated status of the issue so that we can assist you further.

    Thank you

  3. My monitor turns black and white

    When I boot up my two-month-old Windows 10, the monitor displays lovely color. As soon as I enter my password and hit enter, the monitor turns black and white. Suggestions?

    My Windows 10 display and drop down menus turned black plus multiple colors

    4870x2 won't display at 1680x1050 at all!

    OK. Now I know what ur problem is. Step by step:
    1. Go to Catalyst Control Center
    2. Click on the word "Graphic" right on top left corner. It will display drop down menu
    3. Click on Display monitor and will see the list of monitor at near bottom
    4. Right Click the monitor and select "Configure". It will show up the window
    5. There will be 3 option to select. Select the middle one and then click on the tab which show the bar with 15%.
    6. Drag the bar to max, and the screen will stretch to the native resolution 1680x1050.
    7. Also click the tab with showing RGB drop down list and select the last one (it will change to image quality for pc).
    That's it. Good Luck.
