If third-party software is not compatible with Windows, only the third
party is in a position to help you. Regarding themes and other interface
updates: Many are known to contain malware. Caveat emptor.

Thanks - I just tried them both.
The MCE theme is still far too intense for me.
And Zune is VERY black.

What happens if I install someone else's theme(s) - is there a
downside?

There are no other color schemes supported by Microsoft. However, the
MCE theme (darker blue) and the Zune theme (black) will work with
Windows XP.

Hi
How can I get my WindowsXP to use a different "Color Scheme" ?
I have been forced to change from "Windows Classic Style" to "Windows
XP Style" (in order to get the orange mark on Todays's date in the
Monthly Calendar view in ms Outlook2003).
But I HATE the default overly-blue colours that Windows XP Style
defaults to.
I have tried the two other colour schemes that come with WindowXP
(i.e. Silver and Olive Green) but how can I get a new/different colour
scheme uploaded?
I do not want to install any 3rd party applications, for security
reasons.

P.S. It looks like you can "download schemes" (*.cs) but how do you
get WinXP to find them?- Hide quoted text -
