Aura - Changes Aero theme color automatically based on Wallpaper

Haven't seen this listed on OCUK so far and apologies if it has (yes I have searched)

From the official website:

Aura is application that calculates average color of desktop background image or active window icon and sets it as Aero Glass color. It works like color hot-track in Windows 7 taskbar. Aura written in C# using WPF and Visual Studio 2010.

Works like a charm so far with zero slow down or any problems.

I have put it on and it's good. Does what it says on the tin.

Yep, seems to work pretty well. Had it running for about a week now. Prefer it to when it monitors the wallpaper rather than window icons

Looks good. Changing the theme every time you change program is just bloody stupid, though!
