yes you can Just right click the desktop then click on "personalise" then
click on "window color and appearance" there you can choose from 8 different colors and adjust the transparency of aero with the color intensity slider. wrote in message ... How can I change the color of taskbar from black to some better color? Thanks -- www.xpindia.com |

Will,
Keep in mind the task bar color isn't exactly that of the Window border color... but yes, it does change. Bill F.

Yes very true Bill
but the taskbar changing color is a nice side effect. I'm sure when vista has been released to retail, there will more than likely be themes available which will allow for a much higher level of customisation. "Bill Frisbee" wrote in message ...

It's not done by themes.

You can, if you're running Windows Aero theme ;-) Mine is a rather
delightful shade of glassy purple. -- Jane, not plain 64 bit enabled :-) Batteries not included. Braincell on vacation ;-) "Hillbilly" wrote in message ... You cannot. wrote in message ... How can I change the color of taskbar from black to some better color? Thanks -- www.xpindia.com |

I think this is something that should have been addressed in Vista! I mean
it was very limited in XP with just 3 and now in Vista they took away all our power to choose taskbar colors, it's my computer and I want to be able to change the color of my taskbar. It worries me that by the time we get 'Vienna' the desktop will be locked at a windows logo, and all colors will be a high contrast black and white! C'mon this is supposed to get better not worse!

I agree with you. Vista has significantly reduced the number of
personalizations available as compared to other versions of Windows. Microsoft used to promote personalization of the desktop but seems to have turned that around to standardization now.

Vista has been very frustrating . . like you said . . . I though it would be
better. I don't like the "don't touch" BS built into this OS. Have you tried to manage profiles in c:\documents and settings ? They have a deny permission that prevent even the domain and local administrator access. Of course that can fixed but WHY "Kent" wrote in message ...
