  2. Desktop selection box color problem.

    I am using windows 11 and trying to change the color of the selection box but after a few minutes it changes back to default colors.

    I used this how to.

    Try the following steps, and check if it helps.

    • Press Windows + R keys.
    • Type in regedit into the text box and press Enter.
    • Follow the path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Colors.
    • On the right pane, look for the value of HotTrackingColor.
    Select a color and copy your color numbers

    RGB Color Codes Chart

    It is given in three values representing the ratios of red, green and blue that range from 0 to 255.

    • Enter values that mix to the color you want to have.
    • Repeat the above step for the value of Hilight.
    • Restart the computer.

      I just want to be able keep my custom color for it, if anyone has a idea how?
