After looking at the leaked RTM, it seems you can't tweak the colors anymore, just choose from the preset ones.

Depends how i'm feeling

At the moment i'm looking forward to Autumn so i've got a dark brooding wallpaper with black frames and taskbar.

I quite like this color, it's subtle and inobtrusive.

(the crappy resolution is because I can't get any graphics driver to install, the imgburn is because I'm burning Windows 7 Pro SP1 to a DVD )

Of the Desktop window chrome? Yes, you can. It's unchanged from Vista and 7. You have your 15 presets, the "Automatic" color scheme and then there is the color picker/sliders at the bottom to get the exact hue you want.

That's not true. You can tweak them the same as before.

It's too bad that you can't set the colour using RGB values.

True, but that's a pretty minor niggle. It's worse that you can't change the colour of text, as the legibility can be quite poor.

I wish the taskbar color and the window border colors were separate. I like my taskbar to be a really dark/black color

I wonder why MS changed this, it looked like we'd have that option but then they just took it out. Anyone remember why? If they said why that is.

So they went back to the fat borders, eh? The first thing I'll do will be reducing them to minimum to achieve the RP look.

Thanks for pointing this out. I agree, the fat borders look hideous.

They're the same size as the borders in Windows 7, just without the transparency.

That's probably why they didn't bother me so much. I much prefer the thinner window borders in the RP.
