Windows XP gets sub-styled!

Friday, June 1, 2001 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize News

Rumor has it that the next major beta build of Windows XP will have 2 alternative looks besides that blue Luna. All of the GUIs will have the new Luna look but with different color schemes.

If people made their XP skins correctly, you wouldn't need ANY new skins because WB lets you change the color of skins as is without making new skins.

If people would just stop making XP skinz then we wouldn't have that problem

Not from me you won't. I think some people are beginning to act a little paranoid ? I feel mass hysteria comming on from the community over XP !

I actually have no plans on doing any other work on Luna the basis of the skin is already done just a change in colour is not enough reason to do it again for me.

I actually prefer the Blue one, and will stick with that.

XP is looking more and more like 98 with a bloated WB theme and a screwed up stsrt menu....

if i get Xp im just gonna stick with LS and shrink down the rest of the crap as small as i can....

Built in terminal services is nice too. I have a 1Ghz machine in the basement and a wireless setup here too. So in the kitchen I have the 100mhz laptop simply logged onto the 1ghz machine in a fullscreen terminal services sessions. Now my wife can surf the net, write letters, make cards, and all that good stuff with the latest software without having to be downstairs all on a laptop from 1995.
