But if you right click your desktop, then get into the visual settings as stated above...
you get a long list of tick boxes ?
now, one of those tick boxes does change the settings and I can't remember which, but i think it's one of the bottom 4 from the list... best help i can be without booting a machien up

I've tried setting 'best appearance' and 'best performance'
The first one checks every box and the second one unchecked every box in that list.
Neither made a difference
