I've been lurking for a while, but I'm running Vista right now so I
figured I might as well pipe up and clear up a few things here.

You can change the colors of Aero Glass (although in the case of the
taskbar it only gives a colored tint to the black...) and if you turn
off Aero Glass, the default fallback is "Vista Basic", which is light
blue and more similar to the XP style.

Right-click, View -> Classic Icons.

Use the "Views" slider to resize these icons.
