Hard to Find XP Theme

Media Center Edition

Monday, May 2, 2005 by 11001001 | Discussion: Requests

Hi, I've got a skin request that I can't seem to find anywhere else. I'm looking for a port of the Windows XP Media Center Edition theme. I saw the "Media Center 2005" theme but it was a little too white for my tastes, plus the buttons were hard to identify. I'd do it myself, but I don't have SkinStudio and I have little to no talent when it comes to skin -making. I'd really appreciate it if someone could make this skin. It doesn't need to have multiple color schemes, all I want is the default blue theme. Thanks!

Hi there, I'm no expert, but I understand that you can recolor the "Media Center 2005" theme in Windowblinds by clicking the Recolor tab. Also, you can get a freeware version of SkinStudio from Stardock to try your hand at recoloring, porting and other skinning projects. If you like it, you could then get the Object Desktop suite which contains SkinStudio and other skinning tools - and no, I don't work for Stardock, but did purchase it myself and have more thoroughly enjoyed my computing ever since

Thanks for the info. I knoticed the "Recolor" tab but it didn't appear to change any colors. But I will try using the demo of SkinStudio.
