Is there any way to adjust the windows basic theme to change the color of
windows? I have tried changing the color and it accepts them but then stays
the baby blue color.

I do not have a computer capable of running Aero (Built in Intel Video).
And this is a laptop so I can not upgrade the graphics card.

I really like the start menu and task bar colors. But the baby blue
background is driving me crazy.

I have tried applying XP themes but they do not work. I have not found any
themes for Vista yet or a application to make my own theme. Any suggestions?
I would be happy with a black theme similar to the start menu and task bar.
