#11
Sorry, didn't get that far down in the reply. So I did just go through both of those steps---#2 was cool and did everything as laid out, but still does not change the background color of the taskbar (still is black)--all it changes (which the Windows 10 color setting also changes) is the highlight color of the taskbar (i.e., the color showing behind an icon when you are actually using that app and the color lines above the icons of the apps that are open and the color behind the open windows when you click on an icon).
The system I am running is Windows 10 Pro (version 1511), which downloaded and was installed yesterday.
