Has >anyone done this? With the control panel you cannot change all the standard colors. There are 6 unlisted color options: ButtonFace ButtonShadow ButtonText GrayText Hilight HilightText These you have to change in the win.ini file with eg notepad. All this can also be found in the winini2.txt file in you windows directory. Note that you have to restart windows for the changes to take effect.
