i've always loved that mushroom pic. but you need to change that orb now!

im working on it. chill lol 

[stoneyface]

the two programs needed are:

Taskmgr_Replacer_v1.2
 and
Win_7_Start_Button_Changer_2_0_by_Kishan_Bagaria

to make the task manager color change permanent (i.e. make it stay the different color even after closing it) you have to go into the system32 folder and take ownership of the taskmgr.exe then replace it with the color taskmgr.exe that you want.

is there a guide to this somewhere, ill have to check on the windows 7 forums.

[stoneyface]

there are some guides out there, and there is a readme.txt with the downloads. but mostly it is really easy to do. if you need help, pm me your questions
