How to Get Blue Toolbar Back in Microsoft Office 2003 While Using 3rd Party Themes in Windows XP

If you are using Windows XP and have applied a custom theme, then you might have noticed that Office 2003 shows an ugly classic toolbar instead of the default blue toolbar.
Actually Office 2003 checks whether you are using default "Luna" theme or not. If it finds that you are using any other theme, it starts showing the ugly classic toolbar.
The only work around for this problem is to rename your 3rd party windows theme's msstyles file to "luna.msstyles", e.g., if you are using our "VistaVG" theme, then just rename the "VistaVG.msstyles" to "luna.msstyles". That's it.
For WindowBlinds users, open "%windir%\wb.ini" file and add MakeOfficeBlue=1 in [global] section. You can change 1 to 2 or 3 to change the color to Green and Silver respectively.
