    I have just bought WinXP Pro... yeah, i couldn't resist after using it for awhile at work ;P I have question though. I am completely unimpressed with the choice, or lack there of, of the colors you can choose for your start bar and title bars using the crazy but strangely addictive bubbly looking bars. Pea Green is ugly, silver gets old fast, and the blue will evenutally wear on me. So to my question: a) is there any way to get more colors? and b) if not, does MS Plus! let you change those colors? Any help anyone could give would be helpfull. Thanks ahead of time.

          You're absolutely right about the colors. On my laptop everything sort of fades into the same very bright color making it difficult to see the details :| .Henrik

            They are a bit Fisher Price-ish, but MS do a massive amount of R&D to figure out which colors & layout is the most appealing. Cheers, Simon X-5 452 rules.
