power management - Windows 7 Aero theme when on battery

Windows 7 has the full and basic Aero themes that can be changed inside personalization. Windows used to automatically disable Windows Aero (transparency) when I unplug my laptop from the mains.

I reset the theme, and now it doesn't do this anymore. How do I enable this again?

I've checked the advanced power options and control panel but turning back on this feature is eluding me.

Answer

This is how I got it working.

1. Change the power profile to "Power Saver" (How to: Right click on the battery icon on the desktop > select "Power options" > Select "Power Saver")




2. Unplug the charger and then go to "Personalize" (right click on the desktop select "Personalize ")




3. Click windows color > switch OFF "Enable Transparency"




4. Save changes and exit "Personalize"




5. Plug in the charger and then go to "Personalize" (right click on the desktop select "Personalize")




6. Click windows color > switch ON "Enable Transparency"




7. Save changes and exit "Personalize"

I think this should solve your problem.
