I was wondering if it was possible to change certain aspects of the Windows Basic theme for Windows 7, particularly because a number of my machines cannot or will not run aero.

Possibly most importantly, I was wondering if it were possible to change to color of the taskbar or 'superbar', preferably to something a bit darker (though I would imagine it it *can* be changed, it can be changed to any color).

Also, do normal visual styles work with Windows 7, such as those custom themes that can be used with XP or Vista? And will they work without any of the fancy aero effects?

Thanks

xp visual styles cannot work with vista OR win7
vista visual styles might work with win7 or require some slight modifications

Under personalize, click Window Color. You will get the XP style customizer. You can change the taskbar color there but it will change it in other places too. I believe it's 3D Objects handles the taskbar, etc.
