background colors - change color from white?

I'm using Vista Home Premium and I remember under Winodows 98 being able to
change the color of toolbars and background colors of opened boxes etc.: is
that still possible in Vista? The bright white of the opened field I am
typing this message in hurts my eyes as I have the flu.

Just curious, thanks, DH
