    You can change the Task bar (I'm assuming that's what you're talking about) colors by right-clicking the Desktop and gooing to the 'Appearance' tab and changing the color of '3D Objects'. No 'program' needed.

    You must be using one of the XP Luna themes. I don't like using that on a laptop because it eats up so much screen real-estate. But you probably want to look at a site like http://www.themexp.org/ to do what you're wanting.

    That window switching gimmick you're after is called Expose under OS X. There are several apps that provide the same functionality under Windows XP, detailed in this thread.

    Funny some people pay out on macs then immediately copy the shiny bits... ;)
