Grey scale (black and white) window theme.

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.customize (More info?)

You dont only whant the theme to be black and white,
you also want your icons to be black and white... and that means that:

You will have to convert them too to grayscale.. (the notification icons
however are inside the applications and may need a resource hack to do this,
also icons on the programs toolbars will be colored.... and some programs
like MSN messenger does not allow full skinning).

Or

You will have to see if your display adaptor driver can turn down the color
completly.

The only way I was able to do this, was by accident on an old viper 330 pci
adaptor, when I tried to higher or lower the brightness with a utility
called VOLMOUSE.
The drivers did not support this, and it reverted to black and white...lol

There is also a possibility here that is mere speculation.. you will have to
look into it.
Perhaps one of the pins of the cable that go from the monitor to the display
adaptor is needed for grayscale... so if you find that out, get a monitor
cable extension cable and cut off the pins that send the color information
and use the extension to connect the monitor to the pc.
