Windows XP themes... how do they work!?!?

Postby Markus » Wed Nov 15, 2006 1:22 am

Hi guys,

I have been trying to figure out how to get/change my windows theme for quite some time now, and have been unable to do so.:comp:

I am simply trying to gain more choices than the blue, olive, or silver schemes that come as default, but nobody seems to know how to get/apply any themes...

Any ideas?

Windows Royal theme(selfexplanatory):

Windows Vista theme pack(this is a bit hard to install for some):

Or you can just buy a commercial skinning product like Widows Blinds, which simplifies changing themes to a considerable degree.

I'm curious as to how to get a win3.1-styled skin on XP. :P
