Re: can i use WIndows XP color schemes in vista

If you right-click on your desktop, choose personalize, then choose Window Color and Appearance from the menu it will take you to the Vista color and appearance window. From here, click the link at the bottom that says “Open classic appearance properties for more color options”. From there, you can change to classic versions of Windows appearances.

Cheers,

Sorry about that, I thought you'd be able to get something similar.

The link that z3r010 should get you onto the right track as far as creating something custom-ish.
