How can I change the color of the Windows 7 Basic theme?

After a year of the default theme for Win7 (which I liked), for a nice change, I passed to the Windows 7 basic theme. It is somewhat a return to the 95/98 default theme, and the taskbar are a clear/grey blue. Is there a way I can darken the color a little the taskbar, but keeping all the rest on this theme (form and UI icons, etc.)?

In the section Customize, Windows had a link to the MS site for additional themes, but none of them had what I wanted.

"Is there a specific option that determines the color of the taskbar?

It's been so long I forgot what I did, but I found it.  You must use the option 3D objects.
However, this also changes the bar tools, scrollbar, tabs and buttons (maybe more)
so may not suit your needs because it will darken all of these features.

This has led me to research for more information which has me thinking that I can finally
play with AREO-

THIS - link has some interesting comments about the AERO of Shawn B.

I still need to read the following (on my next list) but it can be interesting to play with.
