Firefox and SeaMonkey do not show any webpage backgrounds and hot buttons don't have borders and entry windows like the one I'm typing in don't have borders. The only reason I can type here is I saw a cursor in this big blank area.

Firefox 3.6.16 and SeaMonkey 2.0.13 yesterday stopped displaying webpage background color. Everything is white. This text box has such a faint grey line around it that I didn't know it was there. Every webpage I look at has the same issue. Bing works correctly. IE got corrupted a month ago and I've stopped using it. My Windows 7 programs, Outlook, Word, Excel changed their color settings and some icons, Print & Paste, on the toolbars are larger like 1995 quality.

The first website suggested turning off the high contrast. My Windows 7 has it in Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Ease of Access Center: Quick access to common tools, one of which is, Set up High Contrast. That took me to High Contrast > Turn on or off High Contrast when left ALT + left SHIFT + PRINT SCREEN is pressed. I use ALT + PRINT SCREEN frequently to capture the active window. Obviously I modifies my finger positions and did it to myself. It was affecting most of my other windows. High Contrast is ugly! Thank you cor-el.
