Hi Bill,

One real pain with XP appears to be that it's no longer possible to change
the colours of the menu bar. When I run SkyMap under XP and select its "red
mode", everything changes EXCEPT the menu bar. SkyMap uses the same method
to change its colour scheme that Guide does, so I'm 99% certain that Guide
will show the same behaviour!

Regards,

Chris
