Changing the Window & Taskbar Color without aero??
hey, i put windows 7 on this older pc i have. its 32 bit ultimate. the pc has a p4 2.4ghz 512ram and a 128mb radeon 9200 which is dx8 so no aero. since this is my older and secondary pc im not concerned with aero on this cuz i know it will hinder performace. all i want to do is change the window and taskbar default color from the default sky blue. i know it can be changed with using high contrast theme but then that changes everything else. is there anyway with out aero just to change the color?
