Changing the context menu for Windows 7

It’s a small point, but I’d like to make the context menu make more of a visual change when I point at an item. MS has made the highlight be just a vague outline, with no color change. Is there a utility I can use to do this? Also, do you have a favorite context menu editor/builder?

Google “Change Color Scheme Windows 7” and I think you should be able to do what you want.

That doesn’t seem to do anything to context menus that I can find.

I’m not sure what you mean, when I highlight a context menu item there is the blue outline but the background changes to a light blue colour as well.

Color is not changing.

You need to edit aero.msstyle to do this. If there is a good free msstyle editor, I don’t know it. All of the ones I know about are gone.
