Customize Your Windows Appearance

Classic Windows appearance can be changed with themes and visual styles.But with out any themes we can change the colors of windows objects and size etc(though not their shapes).
This can be done by editing some of the registry values.You can revert to normal settings only if you have the old values.So first of all make a bak up of that registry key.

Follow these steps:

1.In run command type REGEDIT
now u get the registry editor window
2.Expand the HKEY_CURRENT_USER
3.Find and navigate to the Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Colors
4.Right click on the key and select Export.
5.Save the Key file somewhere handy.
6.In the right panel box you can see a list of Windows Components with three values.These values are RGB (RED GREEN BLUE) format. You can find this RGB configuration by selecting a color in applications like MS Paint.eg(0 0 0=>Black, 255 255 255=>White etc).You can edit the values and assign custom colors to all these components.
7.In case you want it in old style itself,just double click on the saved file.
8.You are done.Exit editor
9.Logoff and log on again to see the change.
