Outlook window is semi-transparent

On a laptop with Win XP and Outlook 2010:

Through an apparently random keystroke sequence I somehow made the window containing Outlook semi-transparent! Very weird. Everything else looks normal. Stopping and restarting Outlook didn't change anything; the window is still semi-transparent.

I can't find an Outlook option to reset this to normal. Is this an Outlook thing? A Win XP thing? How do I return the window to normal?

Can it be a stupid setting in Outlook? Under Format-menu (Settings)? Just guessing

Hi scott,

Did you accidentally change the color scheme?
You can change it by going to File > Options > General > Color scheme

Is it only affecting Outlook or other applications too?
You can change the settings in Windows either through System settings or Display properties.

Thanks,
GirardAndrew

The Windows color scheme is fine. All other windows are normal. It's only the Outlook windows that is semi-transparent.
