Hello,
the past week I was changing the appareance of my new Windows Vista
Business, changing Aero, Aero Basic and other interfaces (you know, changing
the font, the colors, border sizes, etc.)... and now i have noticed there is
no more Titles of the window of Explorer (system, not IE) and Control Panel.
In Aero the title area just appears transparent, but no sign of the text
itself.
Thanks in advance.

Néstor.

Hi,

You may have accidentally set the color of the "Title bars" to the same
color as the text within them. I would double check those settings.

In addition to Brink's response, you may have set the font to a size that
cannot be seen in the areas mentioned above. If you increased the size, try
incrementally reducing the size of the font until the titles are once again
visible.

This cannot be, 'cause all the other windows are ok. The problem is with Aero
or Basic Aero with system applications (explorer, control panel).

The size is ok, 'cause the other (non system) windows are ok. Plus... the
titles are visibles in non Aero styles.

For a test, disable the "Transparency" for Aero to see if the tex
comes back
