How to change NetBeans window background color?

Windows 7 How to change taskbar and window colors without using Aero (With Windows 7 basic theme)?

  • I have gone to "window color and appearance," but it seems that only works if I'm using either the old school blocky looking windows themes or Aero. Old school windows themes look like crap, but Aero makes my laptop run stupidly slow and is a waste of memory. I just want a taskbar that looks like current windows but isn't translucent and is a different color. Is this really impossible? It acts like it changes in the "window color and appearance" but it has absolutely no affect! Maybe I'm just being dumb and missing something easy but please help, this is annoying as heck having a dark background and a disgustingly bright taskbar. Oh and please no fan boy comments like "Should have gotten a mac" or stupid stuff like that. That is completely useless and a waste of time. Only actual answers.

  • Answer:

    There is no way to do so without Aero... Aero is needed for this process to work... Good luck!
