How can I take advantage of the Windows 7 features like Aero Glass, Jump Lists, ect. And minor changes like the icon on the jump list, the color of the jump list. Any good articles?

In Control Panel, select the Taskbar and Start Menu item. On the Start Menu tab, click Customize. Configure the value of the Number of recent items to display in Jump Lists option, and then click OK.
Jump Lists —available in Windows 7— are lists of recently opened items, such as files, folders, or websites, organized by the program that you use to open them. Jump Lists don't just show shortcuts to files.
You access a Jump List by right-clicking a taskbar button or by clicking the arrow next to a program in the Start menu.
These lists serve as quick access points for pinned programs. To open a Jump List, right-click on any pinned program in the taskbar or the Start Menu. The list of recently opened files that shows up is a Jump List. In addition to files, Jump Lists may also show program-specific tasks and functions.
