Personalization is key to creating a unique workspace, and modifying the Taskbar color enhances individuality. Windows 7 facilitates direct Taskbar color changes without the need for additional software, providing a convenient solution. In this article, Software Tricks will guide you on how to change the Taskbar color in Windows 7.
1. Directly Changing Taskbar Color in the System
Step 1: Right-click on the Desktop and select Personalize.
Step 2: Next, choose Windows Color to set the color for the Taskbar.
Step 3: Finally, select the color for the Taskbar using the available color palette. Additionally, adjust the brightness through Color Intensity.
Once you have finished setting up, click on Save Changes to save the alterations.
2. Changing Taskbar Color Using Wallpaper
This is a relatively complex and challenging method, so consider it carefully.
Step 1: Firstly, take a full-screen screenshot of your laptop (using the Prt Scr key) to save the most accurate screen resolution.
Once you have the full-screen capture, open them in the Photoshop tool.
Step 2: In Photoshop, select the Selection tool (switch to the rectangular shape). Then, hover over an area matching the length and height of the Taskbar to determine its dimensions.
Step 3: Open the background image you want to use (requires matching the laptop screen resolution).
Once you have the Taskbar dimensions, use the Rectangle Tools (1) to draw a rectangle.
Next, set the rectangle's dimensions to match the Taskbar size (Step 2).
Once you've completed drawing the rectangle, move it to the bottom of the image, and you're done.
Step 4: Next, open a new image that you want to use as the background for the Taskbar and place it on the first layer. Once properly aligned for Taskbar use, click on that top layer and select Create Clipping Mask.
Step 5: Now, you will have an image like the one below, indicating your success. Simply choose File -> Save to save your changes.
Step 6: After saving, set that image as your main wallpaper. Your Taskbar will now have a unique and distinctive color.
