with the old win 98 you used to be able to download microsoft themes for the os.

Im bored with the way my xp looks and i dont want to install loads of software to make it look better, are there any websites out there you can download windows themes.

I logged onto xp in college and the text has been changed in xp and also its carried onto viewing websites.

Anyone know where i can make xp look better?

no probs, really easy to use and can customise quite a bit, just runs in the background and can be switched off whenever

I think it's shit, it leaves a load of fucked up files on your PC when you uninstall it.... never goes back to how it was before!

Same here when uninstalling, it may be the old xptheme version roughly 1-2 years ago.

these softwares really messed my machine up.
when i start the pc now, i get the blue screen of death, so have to restart again.

So i have to reboot twice.


Is there anyway to hack the xp os, without installing any 3rdparty software?
