Hey guys, I didn't really know where to post this. So I put it here in the software section...

. I'm kind of getting bored with what windows Xp has to offer... I have the theme royale, but was wondering if there was any boot skins or other themes I could download without using software such as WindowBlinds.
Thanks

He said w/o software. I dont know. I use the Energy Blue theme from Windows MCE

Thanks I found that just as you must have typed it. Its just Windows has standard Silver, Green (olive) and Blue Colours. But none are really that appealing.

Try linux

Linux... Sometimes reffered to as the "Hackers" OS... Been there... I prefer Windows. Thanks anyway. Vista is going to be very customizable... So can't wait untill thats officially released.

Not exactly what your lookin for...still some downloads involved, but no bootskin or windowsblinds, etc.

There isn't a whole lot more you can do to get away from XP...unless you go with MCE, which can be tricky to install (was for me anyways).

What Linux did you use?

Well. I tried Debian, and I thought Ahh this isnt windows, got confused, then reinstalled windows. That was after a bit of fiddling.

Go back to the windows 95,98,2000 theme haha i love it and im not totally sure about this but it may load faster at start up .......

have you tried visual styles instead of windowblinds?... you dont have to use stylexp, you can just patch your uxtheme.dll, theres a great guide on how at www.neowin.net

then you can look around www.customize.org , www.deviantart.com , www.wincustomize.com and www.themexp.org

Most of the installable themes from these website contain spyware or some useless bar installed on IE that is stupid.

 

[thenut]

you need to specify if youre gonna make an accusation like that

Im a long time user of customize.org, deviantart.com and neowin.net and you wont find that crap on those sites, so dont go spreading false information regarding those sites

as for wincustomize and themexp, I dont use them so I couldnt care less anyway

 

[-=HuNtEr=-]

True... hmmm... Ok maybe not all of them.
