Windows Colour Scheme

I'm interested to know if I am the only person in the world who hates
the default Windows XP colour scheme ie. Blue. Whoever was in charge
of this in the Windows design team must have been either colour blind
or mad! If they wanted to choose a more imposing colour, red is about
the only one left!

Lets face it, the average Windows user leaves their colour scheme at
the default, which means that all my sized Access forms not only have
the blue caption bar, they also have a hideous blue border around them.

The other 2 Windows colour scheme options are far less imposing and
IMHO the classic look is even better. But once again a lot of users
don't know their are alternatives or don't bother to change it.

Maybe the next version of Windows due out in the next year or 2 will
have a less annoying default colour scheme like bright purple!
I feel better now that I've had a whinge.

...and if you have the Windows logo and the Centrino logo on the screen
at the same time -- ooooh what a clash!
