Default Customizing Windows XP Color Scheme...

Hi Tom,
Firstly Windows XP by MS is NOT a response to MAC OS X. MS does not need

to
give a 'response' to anyone. It sounds quite kiddish. MS has reduced the

no.
of visual styles available for stability reasons. Also the no. Visual

styles
has been reduced so that support professionals do not have a tough time
looking at 1000 different types of UIs.

An OS is ought to be rock solid and stable and not just customizable.


Then why the hell do we have this newsgroup:
[microsoft.public.windowsxp.customize] in the first place?

I used WinBlinds before but it really slows down my computer performace.

So
I stopped using it.

Yeah, it is a shame for Windows XP really. Because in Mac OS X, you can
change the "skin" without any additional programs.

I thought Windows XP is a response from MS on Mac OS X but now I know

its
not as customizeable as Mac OS X.

Yes that's all there are, unless you install a skinning program. I use
WindowBlinds from www.stardock.com. Download more skins from
www.wincustomize.com.

| Hi!
|
| I am just wondering how to change the "Color Scheme" of Windows XP

styles.
|
| I went to "Display Properties" [Right Click the Desktop and choose
| "Properties"] dialog box and to "Appearance" tab, as shown in the

attached
| screen shot.
|
| As you can see in the image, there are only three "Color Scheme"
available;
| Blue, Oliver Green and Silver. Is this all Windows XP has? Or is there

a
way
| to get more schemes?
|
| Cheers,
| Tom
