Windows XP Themes
« on: April 26, 2009, 03:21:23 PM »
I've seen people customize their Windows XP to look way cooler, does anyone know any sites that I can download themes from? (Eg. change the colour of the explorer bar from blue or silver to black or red)

There are variants of the Luna theme already built in to the Display Properties - red, silver, green I think.

I am using the Zune theme which has a black task bar and orange start button

go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=75078

Or there is the Royale theme

Other themes

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/desktop/default.mspx

Or see here

For non official Microsoft themes you have to hack certain system files like uxtheme.dll

customize.org is a good site
