windows xp themes

has anyone else seen or heard about this? if you have windows xp you might be aware that there are only three color schemes to choose from. i found this program that let's you download more schemes, and even create your own.

check out these screenshots of what i was able to do with it....

my aotc desktop

my aotc login screen

the theme program, called style xp, and it's creation companion, stylebuilder xp, can both be found here.

i hate that green start button with a passion.....

 

oops. try again.....

 

coming off a night without sleep i can proudly say i created both.

 

you have to have the style xp program installed for any of the themes to work besides the three standard ones.

i'll upload my theme as soon as i can figure out why some of my menu text is coming up black instead of white. right now i can't read my file, edit, view, etc. buttons because the text is the same color as the background.

 

lol!
that's, um, neat.


for anyone else looking for something cool to add to their theme, try these two animated cursors i made from the aotc trailers:

anakin saber play

jango & obi-wan

(right-click and choose save as...)

 

heh, funny you should ask. i designed the bar to look good in pretty much any setting you would use (on the bottom of the screen, have not yet tested it on the side). with the normal heighth, the bar is cut right under anakin's eye, so it still looks cool. the image is tiled so that even if you have up to 7x the normal heighth, you can see all of anakin's face - and the clones are tiled all the way down as well.....
