How do you change program blue theme!

[Guest]

In XP you change the overall color theme for programs like - InfoPath,
OneNote, Publisher, SharePoint Designer and Expression Web by going to
Windows Display Properties the Appearance tab, Color Scheme and choosing from
one of the three choices Default (blue), Olive Green or Silver.

Where in Vista 64 do you make that change?

Right click on the Windows Desktop and choose Personalize. Now click on
Window Color and Appearance.

Hi Earl

Tried that - doesn't change it, at least not Vista 64

You can't change the blue program theme for the 32 bit version either.
Atleast, you can't change it if you want to use Windows Aero. You can change
the color of the glass planes, but not the actual colors in the windows
themselves. You can change the settings under the advanced options, but it
doesn't do a thing for Aero. Which really sucks because the blue color sceme
is really ugly. The only time I'm ok with this color sceme is when I don't
have to use it. The things that Aero can do is really nice, but the blue
color sceme ruins it for me.

For office programs you have to make the change in office. Open an app that
has the "ribbon". Click the little ball and you should be able to find some
options.

There are only 3 that I have found. Blue, Silver and Black.

Are meaning Office 2007? If so that's changed in each individual programs
options now and there's only a couple color choices.

I (and many others) use Stardock's WindowBlinds for Vista (currently in beta,
and available only to those with a current membership in Object Desktop
Network Edition.)

While it is not quite ready for general distribution, it is very stable and
usable.

To purchase Stardock's Object Desktop Network Edition, go here:
http://www.objectdesktop.com

Not only do you get WindowBlinds for Vista, you get Stardock's entire suite of
Desktop accessories when you purchase a yearly subscription.

I'm with you Francisco - it's ugly.
I find when designing websites using Expression Web that blue doesn't help.
Give me nice neutral gray.

No.
Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint and Outlook you can change. It's all the
others.

Gray is so........

gray.

Give me a nice neutral Blue. :0)

FWIW, most XP apps default to gray and not the blue in Vista.

I started using Expression Web yesterday and the first thing I noticed
wasn't how easy it was to use. Nope, it was that blue. Why not black? I
have graphite selected in Areo which only changes the window frame.

Windows Live Mail desktop allows anyone to change the window color by using
the paint brush underneath your picture/name. A free program gives you more
choices that a commercial web designer program.

The simple solution would be to give us more choices other than that Front
Page 98 Blue. Of course we can buy software that will change the colors, but
really, $250 should be enough. And every time I add some new software I just
hope that nothing happens to make the computer crash. Not that I have had
that many crashes, but I have been restrictive on what I download and add to
the OS.

Oh, and while you are at it Microsoft, see what you can do to Windows Live
Messenger. Simply too much grey.
