In my futile searches I’ve only found third party programs such as windowblinds that give all sorts of schemes for windows.

All I really want to do is have a choice other than blue, drab green or silver for the taskbar in the not-so-new-anymore windows xp look. Anyone know how to facilitate this without switching to the windows classic look?
