Customizing the appearance of Windows XP
If you enable "Classic style" in Windows XP, the Windows interface
will look like this:
This is much better than "Windows XP Style", but some borders are almost
invisible, others are too bold, some inscriptions are hard to read.
This can be fixed:
To do this, set the following registry parameters:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Colors]
"ActiveBorder" = "236 228 184" ; window background
"InactiveBorder" = "236 228 184"
