Is there a way to change ALL Windows 7 windows from the default bright white?
I guess what I'm asking for is an EASY way to do this.
Tried messing with themes and WindowBlinds a little which offer color choices for some Windows elements...but it takes a lot of fooling with and then it sometimes changes elements other than color.
I do not want to see the bright white background on any window.
One of the WindowBlinds themes changed some of the windows, but not all, to a gray, which was great. But it had strange buttons as part of the theme.
Any help?

Should be under personalization

Glad I abandoned the Microsoft ship. Hooray for Ubuntu!
Sorry, I know, not helpful.

I don't have my Windows 7 machine at home, but you can't do it the way it used to be done in 95/98/me/2000/xp? in the Appearance tab of the Display Settings dialog box, under Advanced?

Personalization -> Window Color -> Advanced Appearance Settings...
Unfortunately as you've probably found, this only works in applications that obey the Windows setting instead of using their own. As an example when I changed it just now the address bar in Firefox changed, but the text window I'm typing in now to enter this post stayed the same."There are four boxes to use in the defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, ammo. Use in that order."
