| | Aero Glass effects on Taskbar and Start Menu... Is it possible to change the default (dark) black colour of the taskbar and start menu without using a 3rd party application? I just assumed that when you chose a colour and transparency effect that the change would not just affect window borders. I know the transparency affects TB and SM but if I choose any colour from the selection TB and SM still remain a shade of black... Have I missed something somewhere? |

| | Re: Aero Glass effects on Taskbar and Start Menu... Hi Fumanchu, Although you can't do much about the Start Menu, I find that the colour of the Taskbar can change quite dramatically if you use a different Desktop background. Choose a picture with similar colours (at the bottom of it) to your Aero colour scheme for best effect. -- Jane, not plain 64 bit enabled :-)Batteries not included.

| | Re: Aero Glass effects on Taskbar and Start Menu... Ok, Thanks guys... just strikes me as a bit odd that this function is not a part of the overall Aero Glass feature. Hmm... forgot to mention I use Vista Ultimate 32bit. |
