Hmm.. this is a bit confusing me. I tried changing the XP themes (XP SP2), it gives me Dark Blue. What kind of progressbar are you using?

>Thanks but this gives me a blue, I already tried with this function. In Windows XP by default is a green color, but if you change the theme, it also changes the the progressbar color.
