I searched but couldn’t find anything about this so I thought I would be a newbie here and ask.
The color of my taskbar greys almost completely out when I’m at the desktop, then whenever a document, program, or file is maximized the taskbar again has its original color. (see the attached file)
Scans with both MBAM and SuperAntiSpyware declares my computer clean so that shouldn’t be the problem.
I think this is normal behaviour. When an application is “maximised”, or brought to the front, the particular tab representing it in the taskbar changes colour.
When no window is at the front or maximised, and you are viewing your desktop and nothing else, they all fade to grey (or whatever the default colour set indicates.)
