Themes

Tuesday, May 28, 2002 by Harold Dougherty | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I have downloaded several themes and I can't seem to install them.
Am I doing something wrong or am I missing something.
Also, are there screen savers for these themes?
I am using windows xp.

Please help

Harold, each theme/skin you download requires a specific application. For instance If you downloaded a WindowBlinds skin (which changes your windows, i.e. title bar, sroll bars and so on) you need WindowBlinds: http://www.windowblinds.net.

For each library category (WindowBlinds, NextStart,Object Bar) there's an about section at the top of the web page that contains a link to the appropriate application's web site.

Forgot to mention that there are no screen savers on this site. We may be able to better help you if you tell us what you downloaded.

I downloaded Themes from DesktopX.
If I wanted screen savers could I download windows 98 themes. would they work on my windows xp system and what would I have to do to get them to work. OR could I just use wallpaper and find screen savers from the internet.

You could just use wallpapers and find an extra wallpaper on the net......

but you gotta at least _try_ some of this stuff here *s*. Just remember, it's VERY addictive!

Ahhh. DesktopX themes require DesktopX. You can download a shareware version of it here: http://www.desktopx.net/download.html.

It costs $19.95 if you wish to purchase it (or if you want to use Stardock's other apps you can get an ObjectDesktop subscription which'll give you DesktopX, WindowsBlinds, ObjectBar and a bunch of other stuff).

I don't have WindowsXP so unfortunately I don't know if Win98 screen savers will work with Windows XP.

BTW, if you want to see some cool screen savers check out Synthesoft. They've got 3 cool screen savers:

Kinemorphic 3D (my fav):
http://www.synthesoft.com/kine/kine.htm

Pyschedelic:
http://www.synthesoft.com/psych/psych.htm

Hypnogenic:
http://www.synthesoft.com/hypno/hypno.htm

IIRC they're shareware with an occasional nag screen ($20 each if you want to register).
