CompSci Posted February 2, 2006 Posted February 2, 2006 It worked without a hitch for me, now I've got this as my theme:http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/27686055/ : peace: Caris or Mr_Odwin, can you post a link for that theme please? It looks cool. :shock:
Jon Posted February 2, 2006 Posted February 2, 2006 As Odwin and Diets have said, the problem with window blinds is that it is resource whore, it merely sits on top of themes, rather than replacing them.
Mr_Odwin Posted February 2, 2006 Posted February 2, 2006 It's called VistaXP, but a quick google search reveals that Microsoft have banned it and it's been taken down from most places. You can maybe find it somewhere though, or there'll be similar ones in Deviantart>browse>Skins&Themes>Windows Utilities>Visual styles.

dabookerman Posted February 2, 2006 Posted February 2, 2006 http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y76/dabookerman1/mytheme.jpg this would be my theme. altho the sidebar sometimes freezes which is a nuisance
Caris Posted February 2, 2006 Author Posted February 2, 2006 I can send you it on MSN if you cant find it Redshell, just add me if you cant find it. (MSN on profile)
Shorty Posted February 2, 2006 Posted February 2, 2006 the best themes availble for xp at the moment is called Luna Element 4 it comes in blue or black, flavour For ages I thought there was nothing better than the Luna/Souluna and all other Luna rip-off themes... but lately I've completely gone off them :/
RoadKill Posted February 2, 2006 Posted February 2, 2006 http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y76/dabookerman1/mytheme.jpg this would be my theme. altho the sidebar sometimes freezes which is a nuisance Don't wear out the Longhorn theme, since you'll be seeing it all the time when Longhorn actually does come out since apparently it won't be skinnable.
Shorty Posted February 2, 2006 Posted February 2, 2006 foton. http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/15733908/ This is really, really nice. I've seen it before but for some reason never tried it out until now.
Bluejay Posted February 2, 2006 Posted February 2, 2006 I'm using this theme at the moment using the ux hack. Might use Dieters soon though, any other good miminalistic themes (other than foton) Also JonSt, you spelt too wrong in your sig btw.
RoadKill Posted February 2, 2006 Posted February 2, 2006 This is really, really nice. I've seen it before but for some reason never tried it out until now. I still haven't seen any theme/skin better than foton, and I've been using it for absolutely ages.

It is suppose to look like that, i though it looked stupid the other way, fuck grammar in the arse.
Hellfire Posted February 2, 2006 Posted February 2, 2006 I'm using stylexp and it doesn't use any resources if you want it too, it's pretty cool.
CompSci Posted February 2, 2006 Posted February 2, 2006 Err...huh? it mean WTF have you done to your desktop (in a bad way)
AshMat Posted February 2, 2006 Posted February 2, 2006 I'm cofnused, i put the theme file in windows/rescources/themes and it's in the list when i right click and go in properties, but when i select it all that happens is the background changes to nothing.. EDIT: sorted, i hadn't copied the files properly, but sorted now. using this: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/27398087/
Raining_again Posted February 2, 2006 Posted February 2, 2006 I used StyleXP when i had a crappy 512mb ram and it just killed everything, had to reinstall xp it was so bad. I use a paid piece of software called tuneup utilities: I dont mind using programs that use a bit of ram..theres only a difference of about 5% from not having it on.
RedShell Posted February 2, 2006 Posted February 2, 2006 I can send you it on MSN if you cant find it Redshell, just add me if you cant find it. (MSN on profile)Cheers Caris, but I already found a version of it and I've decided to stick with the Tiger theme set to graphite.
