I am totally stumped with this one.

As my title states, all my backgrounds have turned to gray. This includes my sidebar desktop gadgets, all windows and pull-down menus, icons, web pages, Windows Photo Viewer, and Start Menu Window.

Just to be clear, this is NOT an Aeros or Windows Desktop Theme issue! I already went through all of those settings. Aeros is displaying correctly. However, that only affects the color of the BORDERS of your windows and menus, you can adjust their color and their level of transparency. Changing Aeros settings does NOT affect the actual background colors of the window or menu, and does not fix this problem.

Please help!
Thanks in advance,
Oinkus

Tried it, didn't work. I went through that whole menu and changed all the colors to white, didn't work. Weirder thing is, some of them seem to have been spontaneously changed by themselves. But everything when I tried to set back to white, it didn't fix pull-down menus, webpages, gadgets, or windows photo viewer. They are all still gray.

The other thing I noticed is that my notification icons are also gray, including the time, network, and speaker/volume icon. Even WEIRDER is that when I restarted my system, even the Post-Beep part of the startup, where it displays the specs of your system, your drive, etc in that crude "CMOS System Font", even that has turned from white to gray! What on earth???
