    This is the first time I use Windows 7. The system color is black! I don't like it (too much black/white contrast). In windows XP I could change system color by going to Display and Appearance, but in Win 7, the Display/Appearance seems to change only desktop background. I don't find anywhere that changes system color. Is there one? Thanks in advance!

    Also, how to change background color in the Firefox browser? Everything is on black blackground, very hard on my eyes!

    (corrected: system color, not windows color)

    Go to desktop - F1 to bring up help - change window color and click search- you will see many results- choose change the colors on your computer - the help files explain better than I can.
