To try (maybe) on Vista RTM:
Change Aero's colour
Enable Aero/Glass on compatible hardware
I wish I could enable Aero on my work laptop, but it only has a GeForce 4 card, which is only a DirectX 8 chip, not DX9.
For Aero:
DirectX 9 class graphics processor that:
Supports a WDDM Driver.
Supports Pixel Shader 2.0 in hardware.
Supports 32 bits per pixel.
Adequate graphics memory.
64 MB of graphics memory to support a single monitor less than 1,310,720 pixels
128 MB of graphics memory to support a single monitor at resolutions from 1,310,720 to 2,304,000 pixels
256 MB of graphics memory to support a single monitor at resolutions higher than 2,304,000 pixels
