Windows XP Skins

[Amaroth]

Does anyone know any sites where I can find some good ones? Free?

[Tama Drummer]

Possibly this?
http://www.wincustomize.com/

I didn't look around all that much, but I'm pretty sure it's all free. I just did a quick google search; that was first. :)

[Amaroth]

I tried Google. And I found one on that site I like. But for some reason when I click download it just shows me a picture of the skin.

[Machin Shin]

Did you try any of Microsoft's websites?

Please note that that was not ment to be sarcastic, just a simple question.

[Ignition]

I hear Lenex is, "ok"
Why don’t you try to find it?

[Amaroth]

I got some of them to download, but I can't run .jar files. How do I run them? What progam do I need?

[Ignition]

Sorry but you lost me on that one... if you wait till Monday I'm sure Zeratul could set you up quite well.
Since he's all computer wiz and all...

MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Go here.here. (http://www.themexp.org/)

You'll need to install Style xp 3.0, first, but I've got some badass skins, login screens, startup screens, and wallpapers. :cool:

I can't find anything but screen savers and boot screens.

Please don't make me write a FAQ on this. ><

Visual Styles is on the Nav bar to the left. Click on that and you'll get the skins. To actually install the skins, you'll need to download the Style xp 3.0. To get that, click on the "How to install" button on the top of the web page. Click on the Style link and then download it. It will come with 3 or 4 skins.

Next, you can download the individual skins. I suggest making a folder to download the skins to. Then run the Style xp and you'll see several options. To install another skin, just click install, and retrieve the file from the folder you saved it in. You can make your own overall themes as well, but you can read their FAQ on that.

[Amaroth]

I found everything, but one problem. It only has links to Style XP 2.0, not Style XP 3.0.

[Godmic18]

Click the link. See what happens. :cool:







EDIT: Any other questions on how to de-nooberize your desktop?

[Amaroth]

Yes, a few more on how to de-nooberize it, actually.

First, how do I get all the junk this picture has? See on the left? A calender, weather, ect...?

Different program. All style XP does is change scroll bar colors, window colors, menu styles etc.

[Amaroth]

And what is this progam?

[actgfin1234]

DesktopX, it's 20 dollars. =)

[Amaroth]

I'll just get a crack.

[Wayfaerer]

I'll just get a crack.

I'm phoning the internet police as we speak :mad:

[Amaroth]

Pwned. (http://img177.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img177&image=pwned9ly.gif)

Uh, he just pwned you. That's not something to be proud of.

[Amaroth]

:cool:

[Godmic18]

There's a program called spyderbar that has some similar functions as the one you saw. It just has more quirks in it. I can link you if you really want.

[h()()t]

link it

[The Prophet]

Go here http://www.stardock.com/products/windowblinds/

There are few cool ones. The one I have now makes it like a imac.

[Godmic18]

Here's (http://www.tgtsoft.com/download.php) the spyderbar.

[Glamdring]

I've used windowblinds in the past, and it did some weird things to my computer, because it's free, so it believes it has a divine right to install spyware and adware and all other kinds of 'ware on my computer without my permission.

I just sent them nomar's mom, and suddenly everything works fine!

It replaces explorer.exe (hallelujah!) and is a pretty sick little program for skinning. Windowsblinds reaaaally sucks btw. Aston Shell is wicked so far, plus the default theme has some sick little perks built in.

[Amaroth]

I can't get the Weather thing to work on DesktopX. I accidently deleted some weather progam in my Progam Files.

Does anyone know what the progam is that helps DesktopX get the Weather?
