Free XP xMaS theme
 

Linky
The screensaver is :erm: different ;)
Needs a fair bit of hardware to run though:
Oh and it's nearly a 12Mb download by the way :Yikes:

coll looks nice.

Re: Free XP xMaS theme
 

I shall have a look now :)

edit - and i'm impressed :)

Buxom woman loves it too!!!

Ok, I like the sounds.

The desktop picture is making it VERY difficult to see my icons.

And whenever the screensaver kicks in it gets bounced by ZoneAlarm and then crashes my Laptop.

<Reaches for the Uninstall button>

Easiest way around that is to give it permission to launch before it tries to start again, unfortunately with a number of screensavers that are out there if you don't allow them permission to work they will lock you up as your firewall will sit there waiting for a response from you but you can't see it.
Think the screensaver is called santa.scr, you should have a record in your firewall of it asking for permission.

I have downloaded but didn't realise that I didn't have DirectX 9.0 on my computer, so I will have to download that tonight so that I can try it.

Re: Free XP xMaS theme
 

Think I will have to give it a miss on the laptop, dont think its little 2600 mobile processor with 256ram and s3 visuals would handle it.

Try it out on pc later.

works fine on my old creaking 1ghz athlon :)

Re: Free XP xMaS theme
 

Yeah but doesn't Santa look a bit skinny on the wallpaper?

Re: Free XP xMaS theme
 

Yup - it's due to all that extra excercise as he only had one reindeer pulling the sleigh.

Re: Free XP xMaS theme
 

Screensaver didnt work on mine wallpaper and icons were just a nuisance imo so i uninstalled it.

What do you expect? He has been busy emptying his sack .... :erm: okay I won't finish that line in respect of common decency on the forum ;)

Re: Free XP xMaS theme
 

That's never been a problem before..... :D

Re: Free XP xMaS theme
 

Ahh but it is Christmas after all and jokes about Santa emptying his sack for the first time in a year should be carefully controlled :D

Re: Free XP xMaS theme
 

Not the best looking theme I've seen, the main problem was that StyleXP seemed to have corrupted my default theme so when I decided to change back my PC bluescreened and would no longer let me log on to any accounts ... so I've spent the last hour reinstalling XP :|

Re: Free XP xMaS theme
 

Sounds like we both have had similar times with Stardocks StyleXP.

I use a modded file from Neowin, install it, wait for xp to ask system file replace..click cancel ( to allow the modded file to remain) reboot and boys ya uncle your able to install themes.

Re: Free XP xMaS theme
 

StyleXP has got nothing to do with Stardock, it's from TGT Soft.
