Possible to change menu bar color in Aero?

I don't care for the pastel aquamarine menu bar color in Vista with
Aero. I've been through all the color properties, and I can't find
any option to change it. Is it even possible to change it?

I said menu bar, not title bar.

I know you can change the title bar color there. But try changing it
to red, and then open Notepad or Firefox and observe how badly it
clashes with the menu bar just below it.

I agree. I don't like the default blue. its everywhere (IExplorer, Outlook,
etc.) in XP i could define a color theme for menu bars, text within the menu
bar. Vista seems to have missed the boat on this. i don't want to revert to
'classic' look because i loose parts of the Vista look that i do like.
