Programs GUI color

Posted: 06-14-2006, 01:39 AM
I noticed after I installed Office 2003 that the blue theme was not on any
of the office programs, just all white instead of blue. I then noticed that
some of the other programs are like that. Example, Movie Maker, MS Paint,
etc. Is this just on my PC or is it on others as well?

Actually, Office 2003 adapts the default theme of the OS, in this case,
Vista's colour pallette gives Office 2003 applications that color, so its an
expected behavious.

Is there a way to change Vista's color palette? I have tired changing many
things already.
