How can I change Windows 8.1 Metro UI colour and design like in Windows 8? When I click Personalization in Settings on the Charms bar it takes me to desktop personalization settings, not the Metro UI personalization setings.

First go to your start screen. Open charms bar - settings - personalize.

On my system it is Settings>Personalization. I tried that. It just opens the Desktop personalization window. The one you get by right clicking on the desktp and clicking Personalize.

That is why you have to be on the start screen and not on your desktop when you go to settings.

Pull out charms bar - search and type "colors"

And then what? There's no search result that has the option to change the colours.

AND then click on microscope - it will show a list of options, the first of which is: "Change the background and colors on Start".
