  I'm wondering the same thing. I sort of like the way Desktop/Colors option
does it, and would love to find the code.

  I read on the net awhile back that there is a S/W Dev. Kit available from
MS that provides assorted details and the code for a "Percent Complete Bar"
(like that used during install). Does this same kit also contain color code?

  If anybody can shed some light on this, please let me know (enquiring minds
want to know).
