yay. thanks to some help from PreyX, i found the program that lets you change your xp taskbar color

- styleXP (just get the latest)

not too sure of the difference between "ladies" and "men" but i'm guessing the chicks get lighter, more pleasing colors, while guys have menacing, aggressive, X-TREME, hardcore, out-of-this-world shit. or something. i dunno. you can always get more. there's an option of that in the program somewhere

EDIT:
blech. found two downsides to the prog. it resets your sounds and any desktop icons you had assigned to "special" stuff (like the Recycle Bin, My Computer, whatever). it's still tolerable for me. so nice to finally have a taskbar that matches my background (yeah, i don't have many goals in life)

"Same effect with just a regular patcher" , posted Mon 8 Dec 07:09:

I believe all StyleXP does is replace a file, uxtheme.dll, with a modified one that allows you to change skins -- and it has some extra menus. But there are regular patcher programs that do that for free. Remove StyleXP, go here and download UXThemePatcher. (Scroll down for the link.)

It's completely compatible with the skins you've used with StyleXP. You'll just have to manually copy the themes into the folder with all the themes. (Though, I forget if you had to do the same with StyleXP...)

hmmmm, for some reason the patcher doesn't seem to work. well, i've spent entirely too much time on this for now. i'll test it out later in the week
