Default 2007: window colors

You get your choice: Depressing gray or insipid turquoise. The program is installed under
XP SP2, where I use classic windows so I can fiddle with the colors. Can the colors be
changed manually, maybe in the registry? Or are other skins available somewhere?

It's insipid blue, not insipid turquoise. And no, there is no way to change
it. And no, no other skins.

Actually there will be a third color scheme, silver. Jensen posted a
preview last week at

But you still can't fiddle with the colors, sorry.

I was thinking the third color was green - but like you said, it can't be
fiddled with.
