    Actually this is the way it’s always been for Windows, only now on Windows 7 you have to dig deeper into a misleading submenu called “Window color”. Logically, that should be more appropriately renamed Windows Appearance or Windows Theme. Whoever came up with the idea of “Window color” being associated with the overall appearance must be an evil genius who likes to f— with people’s head.
