The post doesn't say much on the matter (nothing at all, in fact), but it's nice to see the classic interface getting a facelift to match Microsoft's new look. Although Aero is still the OS' default look, the Windows 7 basic theme has been substituted for a style heavily inspired by Metro's clean tiles. The MSDN blog's latest Task Manager update shows the familiar feature in a clean Metro suit. Where's the style? In the big M's latest Building Windows 8 preview, of course. It's not an ugly interface by any means, but shiny, translucent window frames are so last generation.

Not only can you select the Windows 7 darker blue, but you can also create custom colors by clicking "More.".Microsoft's Windows 8 developer preview greeted us with an interface steeped in Redmond's new Metro style - its tile-centric start screen is sleek, fresh, and downright pretty. Happily, the classic Desktop Background applet is accessible via Run > control /name Microsoft.Personalization /page pageWallpaper. Click "More" to enter RGB, HSV, or hex values. UPDATE: The day after this post, Microsoft released Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, which includes a "Custom color" option in the main Background settings window.
Inexplicably, Windows 10 not only removed these calming blue tones and replaced them with 24 largely garish colors, but also failed to provide any option for customizing colors in the main Settings menu (right click Desktop > Personalize > Background: Solid Color).
The "Windows Classic" theme in Windows 7 used the same color, but there was a slightly darker blue default color available in the Solid Colors menu, which was still available in Windows 8.1: In Windows 2000 and XP, the default solid color Desktop background was a serene shade of blue: Windows 10: Restore classic blue solid color Desktop background # Windows 10: Restore classic blue solid color Desktop background
