Help me!!! I am not able to change the grey taskbar in XP SP3. I tried UXtheme patcher. It doesnt help. I tried Style Xp in vain. It changes style and other taskbar properties except the grey taskbar of start menu. Please help me....

I made changes in Display properties>apprearance>silver etc. That too didnt work. What could be the reason, please advice me.

Make sure the Themes service is running. Click Start->Run and type 'services.msc' without the quotes & hit enter. Look for Themes and dbl-clk it to open its properties page. Set the startup type to Automatic and start the service.
