I know how to uninstall programs and such, however, I have a theme that is called AlienwareRed, and I can't find where the uninstall is for it. This theme changed all the icons etc.
I've changed the theme to a different one, but the icons are still the ones from AlienwareRed, so I'd like to uninstall it.
I can't find it in Uninstall Programs.
I have installed one at the time, but after reboot it has reset back to default Windows theme, calling it "unsaved theme".
How do I get one theme to stay after reboot?
When I upgraded to Windows 10, all of a sudden, my NASA Hidden Universe slideshow theme displays different photos on my dual monitors. I prefer having the same picture displayed on both, as it did on Windows 7.
I'm running Windows 10 Professional.
I was checking out various themes. Most had quite hideous colors, and mainly dark ones. I wanted a neutral theme, but for fun I chose a purple and pink theme first. Well, everything is purple and pink, including web pages. The forum's pages are purple and pink. All of the games I play are purple and pink. Distinguishing game characters and such is nearly impossible. Nothing I do stops the theme from coloring the web pages. And the colors are always dark and overwhelming. No matter what theme I choose, the web pages are not the correct color. I am sick of color. I want a cream and brown theme, and only on my PC, not on anything on the internet.
View 3 RepliesI recently upgraded my PC to windows 10, and change my theme (windows color and desktop background image) to a new one. But after a while, it auto change back to the theme on Windows 8.1. What I want is use the new theme for all of my devices.
View 5 RepliesI am unable to change the theme color from an icky blue. I can change the desktop, I can enable and disable the color on the Start, taskbar, etc., I can make them transparent. I cannot change the color. If I attempt to click a different accent color, nothing happens. No color change on the preview. No color change anywhere. Just icky blue.
I've made sure that the Theme service is running and I've tried installing themes online. Nothing I'm doing is getting this color to change and it's really buggin' me out.
It could have to do with this being an Origin laptop. It was originally Windows 8 when I got it wherein, as an Origin PC, it had a default-installed Origin theme where the accent colors were red and black. I was able to change the desktop background while it was in '8, but I was unable to ever change the accent from red.
Now that I have Windows 10, I am not using the Origin-installed theme and my accent is not locked in red but is instead locked in blue..
I've not yet attempted a hard refresh of Windows 10, especially seeing as the refresh USB will simply install Win8 again with the Origin-brand-lock, so upgrading to '10 would only be extra time and stress for an issue that is going to happen in '8 and be brought forward again.
Is there a way to force the color scheme to change?
I am running Windows 10 Home on an Origin PC. 16GB RAM; CPU i7 @ 2.8Ghz; I am indeed the administrator.
I am using W10 Pro 1511 v10586.14 and seem to be unable to de-select individual pictures from my desktop background themes.
View 4 RepliesWith Windows 7 I had the ability to go into the Personalization settings and uncheck all of the images within a Microsoft Theme (such as "Waterfalls" or "Beaches") that I did not want to see. This gave me the ability to choose just one image from a theme to set as a permanent desktop background.
This menu was found by right-clicking on the particular theme I had chosen. In Windows 10 that menu is gone....
Therefore the themes just continue going from one image to the next and I have no control over which images I want, setting a timeframe for them to change (Used to have options such as 1 hour, 6 hours, 24 hours etc...), or the ability to customize the desktop background in the way I want.
Is this a Windows 10 design flaw or am I missing something? Why am I no longer able to customize a desktop background theme and choose 1 image anymore?

View 6 RepliesIn W-7, I could go to the "Change the visuals and sounds on your computer" and click the "Desktop Background" Slide Show. once there, I could check or uncheck the pictures I wanted.
In W-10, when I click "Desktop Background", I get the "Background" "Preview" window. There's no handy access to the pictures in the selected screen.
The "Chose albums.....", DesktopBackground", Browse would probably get me to where the actual pictures are if I knew where they are.
It use to be very simple.
I can't find the lower panel in the Personalization view. The one where I can select or deselect pictures in a saved theme. I see it on my work desktop running Pro but not on a Home machine.
View 1 RepliesAs title says, how do I change the settings in a Theme, desktop picture seems to change every 15 minutes, can I change this in the settings somewhere so it changes every 5 minutes or is it just through the registry like in Windows 7 ?
View 2 RepliesI would like to select which pictures from a theme I would like to use for my background. To be more specific, I want to disable a few pictures. This used to be possible in Win 7/Win 8.1 by going to the Theme settings (in win 10: Personalize/Themes/Theme Settings), and clicking an icon called Desktop Background on the bottom of the page.
View 3 RepliesI regularly use the 24 hour time format for all of my systems. Its not a major issue I have now with Win10, but its annoying a bit.
Before I logon to Windows 10, the default lock screen theme has the time in 12 hour format instead of the 24 hour format.
In Windows, I set everything in 24 hour time. Period. I just don't like 12 hour time.
However, when I sign out or just by locking my screen, it does show the time in 24 hour format.
But when I reboot my system it shows the time in 12 hour format.
Navigating to Settings > Personalization > Themes > Theme Settings, we get to the Personalization window for Themes same as on Win 7. In the window it states "Click a theme to change the desktop background, color, and sounds all at once."
However, the icons normally at the bottom of the window to change those settings are missing. All I can do is save the theme (right click).
(window capture missing icons)
(these are the icons I'd expect to see)
Many of the Universal Apps cannot be uninstalled because the button is inactive (grayed out). This might be 'by design' for the Technical Preview since Microsoft wants users to test the Apps.
The preferred method is to use the uninstall button when it is active. The list below provides a way to uninstall an App when the button is NOT active.
Launch an elevated PowerShell (Right click - Run as Administrator ...)
Copy the command for the App you want to remove from the list below and paste it into the PowerShell window
Example:
To remove the Calculator App, copy the entire line under the App name
Calculator
Remove-AppxPackage -Confirm -Package Microsoft.WindowsCalculator_10.1505.29000.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe
The -Confirm parameter lets you to decide if you want to remove the App [ Yes ] or cancel the operation [ No ]
Code:
Alarms
Remove-AppxPackage -Confirm -Package Microsoft.WindowsAlarms_10.1505.12000.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe
Calculator
Remove-AppxPackage -Confirm -Package Microsoft.WindowsCalculator_10.1505.29000.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe
Camera
Remove-AppxPackage -Confirm -Package Microsoft.WindowsCamera_5.31.1.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe

I just upgrade to windows 10. I like it, but the non default theme will not change I just want to change the selected option where its blue.
View 9 RepliesThe Windows 10 Magnifier can give you a “dark” theme by converting light themes. The Windows 10 Magnifier has a color inversion mode that converts blinding white windows with black text into relaxing black windows with white text. It’s easy to set up, doesn’t require any downloads, and doesn’t require any risky Registry editing that might get overwritten by the next Windows 10 upgrade. Once you set it up, the Magnifier keyboard shortcuts will turn it on and off.
To set it up, go to ‘Start’ and open ‘Settings’, then select ‘Ease of Access’. Select ‘Magnifier’, and set the ‘Magnifier’, ‘Invert Colors’, and both tracking switches to ON. Set the ‘Start Magnifier Automatically’ switch to OFF. Then start the Magnifier, and set it to 100% & full-screen view. This gives you a color-inverted view, and, since most applications provide a white work area and black text, you’ll get a black work area with white text. Of course, wallpaper, JPEGs, and other colored objects will look a little strange, but you’ll get used to that in a hurry if you’re writing documents, using spreadsheets, or dealing with websites that are predominantly black text on white background. If the color inversion is getting in the way because you’re dealing with graphics, just turn it off by using a Magnifier shortcut (<Windows key> + <ESC>).
My laptop window 10 can't be access after i changed a theme which i downloaded. Now it's all black and sometimes grey or sometimes blinks black and grey 1-2 seconds. I did change something on the system32 files. I do not know how to do reformat or backup at the moment. I got lots of important stuff inside. I can't even access to the login screen.

W10 and WP8.1 sync - Can i sync my Lumia 930 with my Windows 10 PC? Theme doesn't seem to sync...
View 1 RepliesSo yesterday I installed 10 on the laptop. It appears to work very well, even though it seems, and is, intrusive (privacy concerns) and for me a long learning curve to figure out how all the new 'apps' (old redesigned programs and UI) work.
Here's the problem:
I have read through this tutorial (plus many other posts and articles): [URL]
I want/need to change the timing of the background pictures/theme and the colors of the window from the stock (forced upon me) settings, but the display does NOT show the controls in the bottom of the personalization area as they are shown in that tutorial (They were there in W7 and Vista, and in the tutorial above made in March).
I have tried different resolutions (none smaller available, currently at 1366x768, native), and only two font/display/text sizes I could find of 100% and 125%: The needed controls still don't show up.
The laptop is an ASUS G50VT - 5. Stock except for a 500GB Hybrid drive.
