For a long time now, when I open FSX I get a Windows message: The color scheme has changed. The following program has performed an action that requires Windows to temporarily change the color scheme to Windows Basic,

My virtual cockpits in the planes I fly(PMDG & Majestic) the colors are faded. Sometimes I watch youtube videos with the 737ngx or mcdash8 and the cockpit colors look a lot better than mine. I recently reinstalled FSX and switched to DX10 with Steves Fixer.exe but the cockpits still look washed out. I have been having this cockpit faded look long before that.

Any suggestions?

It's nothing to do with colour. If you're running an aero desktop theme, windows has to stop it and revert to the basic before it can run fsx.

 

The visa you're seeing will all have been edited and they're probably using shader mods like enbseries or similar in their site....

That's the *vids you're seeing and enb or similar in their *sims ... Autocorrect fail...

First thing I do prior to installing FSX now is to change my desktop scheme to windows basic. Dont need all that "fluff" anyway

Can't remember how I did it (googled it at the time), but I added AERO ON and AERO OFF options to the menu if I right click on my desktop... very handy...
