Grayscale desktop
I like the colors when windows changes themes
Wednesday, May 18, 2005 by MyPaq | Discussion: Community
Hi all - I'm new, sorry 
When I change from one theme to another, windows xp gradually looses colors and shows the desktop gray scaled until the theme is changed successfully. I really like this 'skin' but do not know how to keep it gray scaled. Is this a video driver thing...? Can it be set /hacked somewhere? I really liked the good old times when monitors where still black and white (Yes, I'm old enough to remember this).
Many thanks for reading this.

Thanx master - this was the kick in the right direction. Lots and lots of functions to play with. This will take some time....
Thanx again.
Thanx again.

Ok, I played with it and did not find what I was looking for.
I found a function to adjust the skin color, but not to remove ANY color from ANY application. In other words - all I want to see on my monitor is eather white, gray or black.
That's how Micro$oft does it during theme change and shutdown. However they do it briefly, I want to keep it that way.
