Window Color and Appearance

It's easy to change the look of the Windows Aero Interface (Home Premium, Business, Ultimate, Enterprise). These adjustments alter the color of windows, the Start menu, and the taskbar:

1 right click on the desktop
2 click 'Personalize'
3 click 'Window Color and Appearance'
4 choose a color by clicking on one of the eight color choices
5 optionally choose 'Enable transparency' (transparency is enabled by default)
6 optionally move the slider to change color intensity
7 click OK

If the above adjustments don't fully suit you, click the drop down arrow to reveal the Color Mixer and adjust the sliders to tune Hue, Saturation and Brightness to your exact liking. Note that experimenting with color adjustments does not alter the availability of the eight original colors - if you want a change you can always return to the basic color options.
