Programs GUI color

I noticed after I installed Office 2003 that the blue theme was not on any of the office programs, just all white instead of blue. I then noticed that some of the other programs are like that. Example, Movie Maker, MS Paint, etc. Is this just on my PC or is it on others as well?

Actually, Office 2003 adapts the default theme of the OS, in this case, Vista's colour pallette gives Office 2003 applications that color, so its an expected behavious. -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

Is there a way to change Vista's color palette? I have tired changing many things already.
