Can anyone please help me?

I am currently using windowblinds 3.3 an a windows xp machine. I was wondering how I can change the blue area on the left side of the screen when I click on for example my computer, it is the area that contains the system tasks, other places, and details when clicking on my computer. I have emailed stardock twice and have gotten no responce, I dont know where else to turn or who to ask for help. I know it can be done somehow as I have seen it changed on some of the screen shots for other skins. Any help would be great. Thank you very much

Thanks Koasati but I think I may have phrased it wrong, what I would like to do is make that blue area and the options in it follow the same scheme as the windowblind I am currently using, so for example say I am using a black theme that area would turn black as well instead of just staying the default blue

You can disable it right now, though. Deselect "Use Windows XP style explorer bars" in WB Advanced Configuration/Settings. At least the colours will be right, then, if not the style.

Thank you very much GreenReaper for the time being that will work perfectly at least the colors now match instead of having that awful blue. Will WB eventually have a fix for this? Thank you again for the help.
