Right click on an open area of your Desktop & choose Properties. Click
on the appearance tab......& choose WindowsXP Style from the Windows &
buttons dropdown. Set Color Scheme to Default. Or.....play around with
the settings under the advanced button. You are probably needing to set
the colors selection for the Active Title Bar.
