You could just change the entire theme using something like WindowBlinds.

Stardock: WindowBlinds - Windows Vista/Windows XP visual styles for your GUI.

IMO, best and easiest way of doing it.

i dont wanna change the whole theme. i just wanna give windows more color options. the zune one seems good enough. didnt really care for the orange though.

NP..it kinda almost deserves a thread of its' own, but I am too busy (And feelin a bit lazy lately too)

If ya have the time, and would like to explain it a bit more for the other members, I am sure they would love it

(Since I don't even own a USB stick, I probably wouldn't be the best man for the job anyways...lol)
