Right click on any blank space on your desktop.  Go to "properties" and choose either "background" or "appearance".  Will show you how to change the background and font color.\n\nGood Luck

you can open up the default icon and just edit it (in MFC), or add a new icon and link it to your program. the first method is the easiest though. off the top of my head, i couldnt tell you exactly how though.

I agree that everyone needs a little help sometimes. I ran into the same problem a few years ago, but wanted to develop a better sense of color instead of relying on a book to tell me what works better. I purchased a complete set of PANTONE fans and chip books so that I knew the colors I chose could be converted to CMYK and give me better color accuracy when printing. Plus you will have more freedom as far as color choice, you will have a better knowledge of colors and how they work together and you won't need any design references to help you out like the smart-aleek from the first answer.

You need to make a grid ... you can pick the color (black for example) otherwise it will not show a grid

That really is a fun and interesting question!!!\n\nOur cones are not necessarily identical, which means that out perceptible gamut will not map identically on the xy plane. (Click on the link from Discover Labs listed below for pictorial examples of these differences, for example in color blindness) \n\nHowever the difference for most of us is so insignificant that it doesn't matter. \n\nThat is what professionals like photographers, artists and cinematographers, etc. base their success in their professions on. Also remember that colors are not arbitrary but are determined by their wavelengths. There may be some other issues on a quantum level, More...\n\nYou'll find some fun, interesting and easy to understand theory in addition to great explanatory  illustrations here at this link:\n\nhttp://www.discover.uottawa.ca/~aelsawah/csi4133/Lab02.htm

You can do this with a search.\n\nWhen you specify the search parameters, choose Format and tell it to search for the color you want to change.\n\nWhen you specify the change to parameters, similarly tell it to change to the color you want.

The best thing to do is, go to a home improvement store (like Home Depot or Lowes) and compare color cards in the paint department...it will give you a better idea of color combinations if you can't find anything online. When it comes to color schemes, you really have to use your imagination and trust what you want because there are still a lot of color schemes that have not been done yet.

Try this: on your toolbar Click "STart", then "All Programs", then "Accessories"\nYou should find Paint under that category.\n\nShoot! That's strange!\nthis program;s name is usually located there: %SystemRoot%&#92;System32&#92;mspaint.exe\n\nLook for mspaint.exe. Maybe you moved it by mistake.\n\nAdded Monday afternoon, 4:55pm:\nYou found it? GREAT!!!!\nYou can copy it on your desktop, and lauhch it from there.\nOr ... you can copy it back in the %SystemRoot%&#92;System32&#92;mspaint.exe\n\nI think putting it on your desktop is easier.\n\n:=)

I couldnt contact you through your profile cuz it said your email is unverified.\n\nIn response to your email:\nI am pretty sure you can just reinstall MS Paint again just by checking on the checkbox and adding it. I think its part of the windows system restore. If Im wrong, then I can give you the link to download it again...but I'm 99% sure that if you just go through the Control Panel Add/Remove Programs, then just checking the checkbox for Paint will let you add back in through windows without any CD. Its supposed to be a windows component thats independent from other softwares and is part of windows.\n\nGo to Control Panel, then Add/Remove Programs, there is a link on the left nav for Add/Remove Windows COmponents. Click on Acessories and then details and you should be able to check the box for Paint and add it again without a CD.
