Default [Solved] Windows 7: Blurry Title Bar Text
Alright so i have a problem with only title bar fonts being blurry. Nothing else is blurry and text in browsers and what not are as sharp as can be.

This has nothing to do with Clear Type i've already tried tweaking it and disabling it to no effect.

It doesnt make sense to me as other text outside of the title bar is perfectly sharp. Any ideas how to fix this?

Strangely, Office 2007's own title is sharp. How can i get it to appear like that?

I also changed the font to bold and no help..

here is a screen capture..it's not a problem with my screen.

didn't work..any other suggestions? If i change to non Aero or windows classic theme it's fine..something to do with rendering.

i've also unchecked Smooth screen fonts in advanced settings...my other fonts are sharper in a sense but title bar hasnt changed.

it's like someone went crazy with the blur tool in photoshop..

Umm, go into Control Panel -> Personalization -> Window Color -> Advanced appearance settings, click on the place where it's blurry, and give us a screenshot.

with non transparent titlebar (Basic)



again, it is not my monitor. If the snipping tool can capture it it's a software thing.

Is it only within firefox? Try reinstalling it.

Nevermind. I have no idea what you could do to fix it besides tweaking the actual aero theme as it looks like applying the windows basic theme fixes the problem.

No, click on the place where it says "Active Window" or "Message Box", then screenshot it.
