I have Windows Vista on my computer and whenever I login, I always have that aero theme. It's usually see-through/clear, but now it's not. How I can fix this?

You want it see-through again or you DON'T want it? – Ivo Flipse♦ Oct 10 '09 at 11:54
Aero is the transparent (see-through/clear) Windows and all the special effects. – David Pearce Oct 10 '09 at 12:25
The title says: Getting rid of Aero, while his question says: How can I fix it? Contradictionary aint it? It should be: How to I restore the Aero theme? – Ivo Flipse♦ Oct 10 '09 at 13:01
If it's just the theme you don't like, look into custom themes - getting rid of something as useful as the dwm is a silly idea! – Phoshi Oct 10 '09 at 13:07

To change Aero settings, right click on your desktop and choose "Customise"

You should then be able to choose "Window Color and Appearance" to change transparency and other options.

You can also click the text at the bottom "Open classic appearance properties for more color options." which should allow you to turn Aero off/on (Sorry, it is not very clear from your question what you are trying to do, so trying to show both solutions!)
