After updating to Yosemite, the "close", "minimize" and "zoom" controls for windows are not in color. They are shown in black and white, only. I am using a 13-inch mid 2010 Macbook Pro with 4 GB memory. Any ideas on what I need to do to get the colors back? I expect that there might be other areas in OS X where I have the same problem. I will appreciate any help you can offer. Thanks.

Hey vermontbill,
Thanks for the question. There are two different things that could be happening here. First off, when a window is out of focus (another window or application is in use) the buttons will appear greyed out/inactive. Switching back to the window will return the color.
Second, if your “Appearance” setting in System Preferences > General is set to “Graphite” instead of “Blue” - this will occur.

Thank you very much, Matt. In fact, someone changed "Appearance" to "Graphite"!
Hey vermontbill,
Awesome! Thanks for the follow up. I’m glad to hear that the solution was that simple. Have a great day!
