heh, funy you should say that, I've got XP running here so i have the choice of themes etc, but i always end up using the Windows default/classic theme
im looking for something that will change the look of the task bar and stuff, something that actually looks good, instead of the same old nasty grey. I tried downloading that aston thing from the site u posted above, and it said i cant run it.... help? or can someone give me another site where i can get this stuff, remember its for windows 2000 pro thanks guys
I got Geoshell and installed it, but it didnt do anything, it just fooked my desktop up. luckily i got it back the way it was. i will probably install XP soon unless someone can help me find a good shell. i dont want the shell to do anything to my desktop, just to start menu and task bar and stuff. Oh and Speedy_B i cant get windowblinds cuz i have to purchase it dont i?
thanks in advance to anyone who can help!
search the forums for Astonshell. i remember reading about that, never used it myself but i know its similar to windowsblinds as in it 'themes' windows.
thanks guys, but im just going to instal win XP today, and maybe just bet StyleXP. I got the trial thingy of windowblinds and stuff, works well but if u want to keep it u have to pay. But i get xp so its all good, thanks for your help anyways though guys, i really appreciate it!
It's shareware, but no nags and the only drawback is that you can't edit the themes with the shareware version. They say it works with XP too, but I haven't tried it.
From there, you can download any theme pre-XP and apply them. one of many places you can get them is here
hummm well im running windows 2000 pro and it works for me so i dont know why it did not work for you
as for win xp it a good os but i like win 2k better i have been thinking of installing windows 2003 server .net but dont know if i want to d othat just yet maybe i will ding out my other hard drive and install it on there but i dont think i can install a shell on that one just yet lol
thanks alot guys, i appreciate it a great deal. But now i am off to instal windows XP i hope it all goes smoothly, i will tell u when i finish. i did get one thing to work though, ObjectBar, it makes ur start menu and task bar look exactly the same as XP, its pretty cool, but i only have the trial version of it. Well talk to u when i finish installing
hey guys, it took me forever to reformat. lol, damn this crappy 4 year old computer. well thanks for all your help, i still have some drivers to instal and such, so i will talk to you all later
Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
