Free XP xMaS theme
Linky
The screensaver is  different 
Needs a fair bit of hardware to run though:
Quote:
Windows XP
CPU >1.2 GHz,
DirectX 9.0c compatible VGA card
|
Oh and it's nearly a 12Mb download by the way

Re: Free XP xMaS theme
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.

Re: Free XP xMaS theme
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.

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

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

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 :|
