I'm a bit bored of the blue outline on the screen. However I don't like olive
green or silver. Are there any other colours I can choose from?

Are you talking about the desktop? Change it to any color you want.

Right click desktop
click "Properties"
Appearance tab
Advanced
Delect "Desktop" in "Item" box
Click color
Choose color ("Other" for more)
OK/Apply your way out

My windows. At the moment all the dialogue boxes are blue, the top and bottom
of the computer screen is blue, I wanna change it but in control
panel/Display/Appearnce all it offers are blue (default), olive green or
silver.

That doesn't change the blue border of the screen and dialoge boxes.

You need to install additional themes. Here are some provided by Microsoft.
I've used the Zune theme for some time now. Click on the Screenshots link to
see what borders you get.

From what I can gather there are programs available that will let you make
custom themes. Since this isn't something I was ever interested in I never
checked them out. For you I'd suggested running a Google search for XP
themes and see what you come up with.

Good luck
