    I've made everything on my computer black/gray (I don't know why, but I'm in love with those colors at this moment), except for the Theme Bars. I can only keep them Silver/Blue/Olive. And those colors are too bright and blech for my taste, at the moment. Is there any way of changing those colors to something custom, short of installing a new kernel? If not, is there any way to screw up your system whilst installing a new kernel?

    Thanks in advance.

    try downloading the uxtheme.dll patcher and applying a .msstyle :)

    it lets you apply unsigned themes to xp :)
