Can not find anything about the transparency of IE9 favorites, commands, or status bars. Or at least how to change color them to something different. The blue does not work. Has anyone changed the color?

Changing the color or transparency of elements like the favorites bar, commands bar, or status bar in Internet Explorer 9 (IE9) involves modifying system settings or potentially using third-party software. Unfortunately, IE9 doesn't offer built-in options to customize these elements directly within the browser itself. However, if you are looking to change the color or appearance of these bars, you might need to explore alternative solutions outside of IE9. Here are some suggestions to consider: 1. System Settings: - Windows Theme: Modifying the Windows theme can influence the color scheme of various elements in IE9.

System Settings: - Windows Theme: Modifying the Windows theme can influence the color scheme of various elements in IE9. Changing the theme might also affect the appearance of bars and buttons in Internet Explorer. - Personalization Options: Windows allows you to customize colors, backgrounds, and various other visual elements. Adjusting these settings could indirectly impact the appearance of IE9's bars. 2. Third-Party Tools: - WindowBlinds: Stardock's WindowBlinds is a popular tool for customizing the Windows interface, including elements in Internet Explorer. - Browser Extensions: Some browser extensions may offer limited customization options for IE9, although these are less common compared to modern browsers. 3. Registry Tweaks: - Changing the color or transparency of system elements like the IE9 bars may require modifying system registry settings. This method is complex and should be approached with caution, as incorrect changes can affect system stability. 4. Compatibility: - Keep in mind that as IE9 is an outdated browser, some modern tools or methods that work for newer browsers may not be applicable to IE9. Since the customization options for IE9 are limited compared to more recent browsers, exploring the options mentioned above may provide some level of customization for the bars you mentioned. Additionally, searching for specific themes or tools designed for customizing IE9 may yield more tailored solutions from the community.
