Actually it has been shown that ugly colours make people angry. I am
generally angry with Vista because it has so many problems and the ugly
green colour is making me hate it even more. I am amzed that Microsoft
have firstly chosen such an annoying colour, and then secondly have made
it impossible to change (except with some complicated stuff I finally
found by googling). Please will microsoft make some changes to the ghastly
colours in Aero - horrible stuff.
Green is supposed to have a calming effect on humans. That's why the Soviet
space program used a lot of green in the interiors or their spacecraft,
after they found this out in scientific studies.
Anyway, you can try some of the alternative Vista Visual Styles on
deviantart.com, if it bothers you so much. I'm sure I saw one with a blue
gel MacOSX style progress bar.
You'll need to replace uxtheme.dll with hacked one that allows non-signed
visual style files to be used.
