    Hey guys,

    I have a laptop that's running vista home premium. I like it, but one of the nitpicks i have is that when i click a icon, the hightlighting that surrounds it is way too faint for me. Its not that big of a deal but sometimes I wish it were darker (like the blue used in aqua for osx).

    I've tried looking around in teh preferences for ways to change the highlighting but I haven't found any. Do any of you guys know a way to change it to a different color/differnt shade of blue?

    thanks!

    it can only be changed by modifying your visual style. You'll need Restorator 2007 for it.
