power-managementwindows 7
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.
Restart DWM with (by using a CMD shell window with Administrator permission):
net stop uxsms net start uxsms
It's the same service that crashes and is also known as the Desktop Window Manager.
I don't think you can change this out-of-the-box in Windows 7.
You might want to look at WindowBlinds 7, which allows for more customizations.
Although I've not used it with Windows 7, I'm pretty sure it can customize the active and inactive title bars differently.

This is how I got it working.
Change the power profile to "Power Saver" (How to: Right click on the battery icon on the desktop > select "Power options" > Select "Power Saver")
Unplug the charger and then go to "Personalize" (right click on the desktop select "Personalize ")
Click windows color > switch OFF "Enable Transparency"
Save changes and exit "Personalize"
Plug in the charger and then go to "Personalize" (right click on the desktop select "Personalize")
Click windows color > switch ON "Enable Transparency"
Save changes and exit "Personalize"
I think this should solve your problem.
