Vista - Toolbar Color Change?

I'm running the new Vista and my Toolbar is always gray. I like the older
green color from XP. I've tried changing themes but only get the old Windows
98 toolbars. Any ideas. There are alot of things that can be customized on
the toolbar under this new Vista - I just can't find the color option.

Windows Colour (note spelt correctly although spelling checker doesn't think
so) and Appearance under Personalisation (note spelt correctly although
spelling checker doesn't think so). It's rather big, you may have been
looking for a smaller option.

I'm incredibly disappointed that win mail only has the option of "English"
as the dictionary language and yet it spell checks in some foreign version
of English. (or should that be "verzion"?)

I guess I will have to start adding the English versions of English words to
the win mail dictionary. hah.

its a shame the built in vista dictionary isn't multi-language. or at least
include the option for the "Proper Queens English". or if it would use the
office dictionary (if installed)... maybe an idea for an update??

SQL Server - it's very important to set the language
correctly.

A lot of people choose 'English'

This would be wrong, because Microsoft thinks that in
England we speak 'British English'

Not anymore they don't. They now think everyone speaks NON RS English. Look
up RS on Encarta - you'll find an hysterical defense on why RS should be
ignored and they refuse to even define it. If you don't know what it is
Encarta won't tell you.

RS is the official English. RP is the official pronunciation.

Back to the Original Topic - there is nothing in Windows Color about
changing the start menu's toolbar color, and, yes I did check in the
Advanced Settings.

I hate the grey toolbar!

Just go back to themes and select Vista Theme. I think its called
Windows Aero.

Why is there no option to select the XP Start Menu.. The Vista start
menu does not suit my needs!

Come on Microsoft. Not being able to change the toolbar colour is obviously
an oversight. I can't imagine you mean it to be this way!

Strange my toolbars are sky blue, not grey. Maybe I need to have a warmer
screen setting!!!
