NO WAY to change taskbar color
I'm convinced that no amount of software can change my taskbar's color. I'm on Windows 7 Starter, and I've tried everything and I firmly believe there is no hope for me. Anyone care to prove me wrong? Please?

Windows Style Builder can do it... but it's not free and not easy to figure out...

If I'm going to buy something to solve this problem, it'll be another version of Windows 7. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP Mini 210-1100

Tried them all; none worked. The "personalization panel" gave me weird results ( "personalization panel" problem) and the Grantman thing said "(Error 5) Required registry access is not allowed occured at mscorlib." | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP Mini 210-1100

If you want to see if you can get past that error (I'm assuming you are using a user with admin access?):

It's "unsaved theme." All I did was change the background (using the personalization panel linked above) and I changed the cursers. I would like a red taskbar. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP Mini 210-1100
