Strip down Windows 7 - Free

That was my take too, Ray.

And proud of it. A lot of my motivation, in going Classic, is to remove colour from the desktop as much as possible. It can have a massive impact on colour judgement when doing photographic work. Blacks, greys and whites are my ideal. In the same way, I would only have white or grey walls, and I use 6500K lighting to preserve colour integrity.

Amazing how we have a similar approach. I customised my Windows XP colour scheme so the desktop is mid grey, the gradient in the window title bar is black to grey for foreground window and dark grey to light grey for background. All my menus are grey and my highlight colour is black! In my computer room, the walls and ceiling are white, the curtains and floor are grey. The table is white.

Where did you find 6500K lighting? Can you get those in dimmable bulbs? I am using dimmable halogens but 6500K would be great.

Thanks for shedding the light, Rik.

I think Gary knows another supplier.
