XP Theme or classic?

_Zorro_

Now I'm on Ubuntu ;P But I used to use the classic win98 style on xp :P No graphics. Just because I find it more perf to manage.

When I'm using Windows XP I use the default blue theme. I have done for the last five years (or however long XP has been out for now). When I using Vista I use the default theme. I tried the various colours, but ended up back on the default. I use them because they work best for me, and I work best with them.

I actually like the blue color. I guess I'm still young! :-D

I chop and change depending on my mood. I switch between Classic/XP mode every few weeks, and when using XP mode, I cycle between the various colour schemes regularly. Currently I am running with the Media Center XP style and the New Bliss background.

RoyalXP Blue or somethine like that, it's the Media Centre theme I think, has a nice small start button too: http://ed.poore.googlepages.com/theme.png[^]

I have no idea what I just said. But my intentions were sincere.

I'm using Media Center 2006, but I also use Vista Ultimate, which looks nicer. -- modified at 13:35 Monday 18th December, 2006

Me too. And blue is also a very calming color. I guess that's why they made a BSOD. :-) Marius

Link please! Looks great...

Here maybe?[^] I honestly can't remember where I got it but I think that MS have if for download somewhere, just google for "Royale XP" that's the name of the files or email me and I can send you a zip with the theme in it if you want (I think anyway).

Vista Transformation Pack. Vista look, without the Vista headaches.

The dark style is a nice change. http://www.zune.net/en-us/meetzune/software.htm[^] Download[^]

Found on Bash.org [erno] hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my apartment it is.

Looks the same as the one I have, but I don't have that funky Start button. :(

Aero with a dark-blue color to the glass. I was running Vista with the classic theme over the weekend and it was just... well, "odd" is the only way I can describe it. It wasn't bad-looking, more like out-of-place. Anachronistic, if you will.

I pretty much just use whatever comes out of the box, so XP. Except in the Control Panel, i switch that to Classic view.

The blue theme is ok. I like the XPize theme better though, it looks more modern.
