Ah, here we go, finally found Praxis's link on Vista inconsistency:

Anyone know how you can make the menu area a different color like black in the last screenshot? Sky purplish-blue makes me want to vomit. Seriously, why couldn't MS make the the menu area either blend in w/ the title bar like in IE or make the inside of the window distinct like the rest of the windows for consistency?

Lack of consistency drives me nuts- I'd rather use a CLI app or an inferior GTK/GNOME app than one that doesn't match the rest of the desktop, unless there are no alternatives available or the CLI version is too hard.

The icon scheme on Vista also drives me nuts, too bright- anybody know a way to get WinXP or 2K icons back?
