Vista - Changing appearance of Vista Aero?

I have opened the "Personalize" window of Vista and selected "Window
Color and Appearance". I then open "classic appearance
properties...." for more color options and click "advanced" where I
change the colors, fonts and sizes for all of the "Items". After
backing out and clicking "apply" none of the changes are visible. It
appears that the only changes I can make are slight modifications to
the 8 preselected colors on the Color and Appearance" page.

Can someone tell me if its possible to set up and save a "theme" in
vista as I did in XP, and still retain the Vista functions of
transparent windows, switch between windows (windows+tab keys) etc.?
If so, how? I've tried using the theme I set up in XP (copied the
theme file into Vista), but I then loose the transparent windows etc.,
and i can't find anyplace where I can modify the the theme that pops
up when I click on" Theme" in the "Personalize" page.

Sorry this is so long, but I wanted to prevent answers that covered
what I'd already tried. :-)

It doesn't work on my computer either> I wonder why Microsoft bothered
building in the "advanced" options - or maybe it is just a left over from
XP. But hangon - wasn't Vista supposed to be a ground up rebuild?
