    Can someone tell me how to change my desktop look from the Alien theme back to Windows 7?
    I am having issues with web browsers having black borders on the web address bar (Chrome) and the menu bar (Firefox) while navigating through bookmarks, etc.

    Thanks

    I also hated it and changed it back to regular Windows. But I can't remember the steps. I think I just uninstalled Alienguise.

    Anyways, that's called Alienguise. That's the program you need to deal with. AlienFX is the lights.

    It's called Breed theme. You can uninstall it from programs and features in your control panel (I believe it appears as stardock) or you may be able to change it if you right-click in your desktop a and select personalize.
