Can gui style skins be downloaded for standard windows?

Also does anyone know where that patch is to allow you to use non default skins on the normal form?

Where'd you get that skin/theme for xp? Is it part of a program or a them you can choose in desktop properties?

The theme patcher can be found here for SP2 users : http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enh...tiPatcher.shtml

But I recommend that you get WindowBlinds shareware version, its alot better and you can get thousands of skins from www.wincustomize.com.

What's the best way to skin/theme XP?

Lowest memory usage option, or at least one that won't affect my laptop's speed, but will make it look pretty!

Find an MSStyle.

There are plenty around, there are various shady websites though, so personally, I go straight to source and get mine from www.deviantart.com

Just download, copy the *.msstyle file along with any other included files into your themes folder in C:/WINDOWS/Resources/Themes

And you'll be able to change it how you would normally. It doesn't use up any power like a program such as Style XP would.

I mistakenly installed a Dutch copy of XP recently , tried it for like - 2 days before I got sick of that primitive Germanic leftover s**t . The resulting English install is shown in Diagram A :

Back to Vista, just can't get used to XP anymore :( Functionality wise it beats XP hands down, it's just so f**king slow... keeping track of CPU and RAM usage so i know what to upgrade.

Funny thing is that 3 months ago I had 960mb of ram it seems to be decreasing slowly - in bios as well lol, not just an error in windows

Funny thing is if you have over 1gb of ram it actually runs FASTER than xp :)

Would it struggle if still running pentium 4 :rolleyes:

Got 1.5gigs of ram but from what i've read since it isn't two sticks of the same size ram, that it won't run to its best.

That true?
