<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I've used the classic theme for ages now, in XP, Vista and now in 7. In XP the classic theme had the same features as the XP theme. Now using Windows 7, the classic theme is inconsistent, a mix of XP and 7 stuff, resulting in a bad design. I prefer to use the new themes, except that it's so ugly. <br />
<br />
1) I don't want to use transparency. <br />
2) There is no real black theme, and the grey theme has these ugly shades. <br />
<br />
So I would like to know if there is a way to get rid of this really ugly greyish theme. Does anyone know where the images for the themes are located, so I can replace them?

Windows 7 solid black taskbar (not transparent)

Windows 7 is an operating system from Microsoft. Features include multi-touch support, a redesigned Windows Shell with a new taskbar, referred to as the Superbar, a home networking system called HomeGroup, and performance improvements.

Windows 7

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.

Windows XP

Windows Vista is an operating system created by Microsoft as the successor to Windows XP. It was intended for PCs, workstations and laptops, and shares the same code base as its successor, Windows 7. New features included an updated graphical user interface (GUI) and visual style dubbed Aero, a new search component called Windows Search, redesigned networking, audio, print and display subsystems, and new multimedia tools. Vista aimed to increase the level of communication between machines on a home network, using peer-to-peer technology to simplify sharing files and media between computers and devices. Windows Vista included version 3.0 of the .NET Framework, allowing software developers to write applications without traditional Windows APIs.
