I have noticed that new Microsoft programs (Media Player 11, Live Mail, etc...) all have a "Vista Theme" to their title bars. I do not mind this, but I would like to have a consistent look to all my windows. Is there a way to turn on the Vista title bars in all of XP windows, or a way to turn off the Vista title bars in the new programs? Thanks, Jim
