Hello I am new to writing posts but I have read many. I have been using Blender for over a year and for some reason recently when I opened the program everything looks washed out. I would add a screen shot to better explain what I mean but I am not sure how to add it from my picture folder. Basically when I open the program it looks like there is a layer of light gray over the entire screen. I am using blender 2.70a which I have been using for the entire year.
Has anyone else had this happen and what should I do?

Try going to file - load factory settings I have this same problem and loading the factory settings does nothing. I have two versions of blender installed in my computer, 2.70 (portable) & 2.78 and while 2.78 interface looks right 2.70 is washed out like in MysticLulabelle's picture. I used to only have installed a complete version of 2.70 and the interface looked right back then, the problem came after I installed 2.78. 2.70 was automatically updated and overwriten by 2.78 when I installed the latter, so I downloaded a portable 2.70 to be able to work with both. It was then when the washed out interface problem appeared. I've tried several other portable versions, but they have the same issue and I can't find information about it anywhere. Any ideas of what could be causing it? |

Try File -> User preferences -> Restore to Default Theme or click on Themes tab, then click Presets and choose another theme.  |

If it were the theme's fault it shouldn't affect the mesh itself right? I've also compared the parameters from both versions and they're exactly the same, so wathever is causing this must be elsewhere. |

I've had this happen to my copy of blender 2.70 as well. Part way through a project, between editing meshes, I loaded it up and everything was really washed out looking. I can barely see the XYZ indicator in the 3D view at all.
I'll try these suggestions and see if anything helps.
ETA: So I went and tried the suggestions. The only thing that partially worked was using the Load Factory Settings option which restored the colours back to what they should be, but only for the session I was in. Saving and leaving the program and then coming back makes blender just as washed out as before.
The only other thing I can think of that I haven't tried yet is a reinstallation.
