Which Windows Theme ???
Purely out of interest.

Which theme in Windows do you use and why.

If other please state.

Annoys the hell out of me when people have Windows XP (Fisher Price Style Themes) but that is just a personal gripe.

Re: Which Windows Theme ???
I have not had time to think about changing the theme on this PC.

On my work PC as I use Citrix a lot and the security is tied down then theme changes make it look strange and inconsistent so FP it is.

Re: Which Windows Theme ???
The XP one in that it's not windows classic, but the silver version.

Can't stand XP in classic, it looks too retro. Why not make it look like 3.1 or DOS? Doesn't make sense to me.

Re: Which Windows Theme ???
I have the XP siler style, but I would like a good theme program, or more themes from microsoft, cause these are a bit bland.

Zinglebarb's theme looks ok, but I tried windowblinds and the program was dreadful.

does anyone know where i can get microsoft themes?

Re: Which Windows Theme ???
If you install and run style xp all the visual styles and theres 100'S all just sit under Display Properties , Appearance tab
So it only has to be run the once,the only reason im on windowsblinds now is style xp does not work with 64bit xp

Try downloading some visual styles from the themexp site,unzip and copy into windows\resources\themes folder I do not know for sure if this will work but this is where stylexp leaves them

Re: Which Windows Theme ???
I'm running the XP Media Centre theme which looks really good and requires no hacking of the OS or any crappy skinning programs.
