Colors can be changed by selecting the ''Colors'' tab of the ''Customize Theme Details'' dialog and changing the color settings for the window borders, text input fields and text selection highlighting.

The window border can similarly be changed by selecting from a range of pre-designed styles using the ''Borders'' tab of the ''Customize Theme Details'' dialog. The following screen shows the Atlanta Window Border Theme:
