There once was a tool for Win95 that made it possible to have gradient titlebars in Windows95.
Basically it just replaced a file from Win95 with a newer one from a Win98 Beta Version to accomplish this.

Does anyone know where to download this program?

I think the program was Desktop Architect, and it should be fairly easy to find.

No, it's not the right one.

Sorry, but then I can't remember the name of the program (I've used it once), but I do remember it replaced user32.dll (or/and maybe user.exe) and changed the registry settings to assign values to the gradient colors (HKCU\Control Panel\Colors, strings 'GradientActiveTitle' and 'GradientInactiveTitle', I guess), so you might try to do it manually.

I found a few things...

According to Virtual Plastic (really nice site by the way), you need the Plus! package.
They have a link to create the "memphis effect" using "Windows Administrator" but it's dead.
However, I found it on a polish site : http://www.communicator.pl/winad.html

Enjoy ;)

PS: more information on Plus! here, on a german site http://www.winhistor...e/win95plus.htm
You can buy it for almost nothing : http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Windows-95...k/dp/B000CSBONM

Thanx a lot!
Windows Administrator did the trick.
