Changing Windows Appearance

[RM-Taylor]

I'm on Vista, and want to know how I can change the colour of the appearance I currently have on my computer.

I went the Control Panel>Appearance and Personalization>Appearance Setting way but this just give me the options to change the appearance of the pop-up boxes.

How do I actually change the appearance of the programs and the little toolbar at the bottom. Anybody know?

Right click on desktop
Select Personalize
Select Window Colour and Appearance

OR

From in Control Panel - select Personalize ....

That unfortunatley doesn't give me the option of changing the background colour

All it does is let me change the scheme, I know there's a way of just changing the colour completly, but I forgot how to do it :thud:

Within the Window Colour and Appearance window select 'Open Classic aapearance properties for more colour options'
On the next window choose 'Advanced'

Is this what you were after ?

I've just read a Windows Vista manual that has a suggestion. I can't test it here as I don't have Vista but I'll try it at home and PM you if it works.

Wahey I've now done it.
