Dude, Vista!
I WAS NOT AWARE we could do this with Vista! This is, and I'm not joking, the first awesome Vista feature I've discovered! And it's genuinely awesome!
DUDE
And by "this", in case it isn't clear: we can use sliders to change Vista's color scheme! Sliders! Aero! I made mine a disgusting maroon/rootbeer-flavored concoction!
