Windows XP appearance

Thursday, May 1, 2003 by bobsmuth | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I wanna get a new appearance for XP - different colours for the start menu etc. - without downloading a software program like win styles. Is this possible? Where can I download new appearances from?

you don't need winstyles, only windowblinds http://www.windowblinds.net
A very nice little proggie.

But, since you don't want to download any new software, can't help you...sorry.

There is no way to apply any other styles to XP without another program, unless you hack your system files yourself. Microsoft has biult in a "feature" to prevent anybody from installing styles that are not officially "Microsoft approved".

So your best way is still to go with a third party program such as Windowblinds, wich is moer complete and more flexible anyway as far as skinning goes than XP's styles.
