Does your Start9 also modify Windows themes?
...and I also suppose the Taskbar.
It's a modular shell. It doesn't modify Themes though. |

Alternatively, Start9's Taskbar offerings could easily provide such options.
Start9 isn't exactly ready for day-to-day use as of yet, though, so atleast for the moment, Jcee's solution would definitely be the way to go IMO. |
