XP Skins / Themes
« on: September 29, 2003, 17:04 »
Thanks to Big Boss, I have discovered the wonderful world of skins for XP!  (Cheers Dave!)   :D

You can get hundreds of Themes, Wallpaper, etc, for XP, free, from www.themexp.org, but check the 'How To Install' page as you have to download Style XP (which is only a trial version), to get the skins to work.

As can be seen below, I have found a nice skin to compliment the Mozilla browser, but there's over 900 to choose from on the site.

Come on, folks, get skinnin'!   ;D ;D

There's always one isn't there!   ::) ;D

There are far more radical changes you can make, by using different skins, but I chose to keep things fairly recognisable.  It's just a nicer colour scheme, in my opinion.  I have to say I never liked the default 'Silver' XP Theme.

Just having another look at the site, here's an example of something more radical, not that it would be my taste!   ;) ;D

You can still load the themes from the Themes tab in Desktop Properties, but I'm not sure what would happen without Style XP.  Good job I won't have to find out!   ;) :P
