Okie!
If u install any 3rd party theme in XP, the look of progress bar is changed...
So if u want to hv that green progress bar, then install any VISTA visual style for XP.

Or if u do it manually, then open the .msstyles file in Resource Hacker and search for:

PROGRESSCHUNKVERT_BMP
PROGRESSCHUNK_BMP
PROGRESSTRACKVERT_BMP
PROGRESSTRACK_BMP

in BITMAP section, and change their color/style according to ur requirement! :)

Okie Guys!
After a LONG break, I'm posting a small tut on some COMMON changes/hacks, which most of the ppl want to make!
Here I'll tell U the exact location of the thing, U want to change.

List of a few Locations in Windows XP to be Hacked


Its not the complete list. There r lots of other things, which can be changed/hacked. But posting all the settings will require lots of time. So I request U guys, that if u want to change something else, which is not present in the list, pls ask here. I'll try my best to answer the query! :)
