And if so how?

Hmm, never checked into that one. I would start here:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Colors

BB..
You can change the color of STATUS bar by RIGHT clicking
an empty spot on your desktop and selecting PROPERTIES and
then click the APPEARANCE tab and then click the ADVANCED
tab.. Then click the drop down menu under ITEMS and select
3D Objects... Change the lower color to your choice, but don't
use PURPLE... NOWTHEN, this will only work if you are using
WINDOWS CLASSIC view. It will also change the color of the
Toolbar text buttons and the 3 items at top right side of window.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Custom Colors looks interesting

Hmm, not enough labels for me. <w> Is always a guessing game. Have fun
and keep me posted.

I didn't say it would change the color of the toolbar, I said the
TEXT on the toolbar and on the status bar... Just to clarify..

It can be changed via the .msstyles file (this I'm certain of). I don't think it can be changed via control panel/registry (as far as I know).
