Windows Server 2008 GUI

Hi,

I am now struggling with a number of the great improvements Microsoft did to
Server 2008, in particular:

- RegEdit don't have "closed" and "open" folders in the left treevew pane
anymore. All folders regardless of state are just pale yellowish supposedly
beautiful pieces of useless work. If the right pane (values) is selected,
one can't tell which folder the values belong to. Is there any way to fix it
and may get the old good 2003 icons?

- WinMail panels now use 1 pixel wide splitters. To resize a panel, I now
have to position the mouse exactly on that 1 pixel line, which is it least 5
times harder than in Server 2003. Have anyone tried to do it via RDP on a
Windows Mobile Device? Is there any way to change the thickness of the
splitters?

Thanks,
John
