IE8 in 256 colors (low colors)

Hello,

I would like to know if it's possible to execute IE8 in 256 colors
mode (8-bit colors display). I'm running it on a Windows 2003 Terminal
Server with 256 colors display and the IE8 menu and toolbars are very
ugly!
So my question is, is there a parameter or registry key to have a "IE6
colors look-like" for IE8?

Thanks in advance!

Change the color scheme and theme to Windows Classic to see if the problem
clears up, then revert to 5the XP theme and color scheme and see if the
problem is still cleared up.

There was an issue where the tool bars would appear in black. I fixed mine
through the Desktop Properties. I changed the Theme and the Appearance
selections to Windows Classic, and the toolbar colors came back.
