- I like to change my colors around, too. I found a little control panel
- called Aurora on sumex not too long ago. It will let you change colors
- of windows, controls, and menus. All seem to work ok except the window
- background color- some apps have trouble with this (Xpress was one I had
- that hated it).
-
- Shareware, I think. It also is not system 7 savvy, it was originally
- designed for system 6 color systems.
