Win XP.theme - a.k.a Bliss

[Guest]

..Hi,
I have lost the capability to choose Windows XP (the default theme) in
Display. Windows Classic is there. The screensavers are OK. Bliss is not.

In working with themes, I have the Plus! files working fine in
Windows\Resources\Themes. My older themes are happier in C:\Program
Files\Plus!\Themes, altho that really depends on whether or not the .theme
file needs to appear on an upper level. The manager for the latter comes
from the wmbonusxp.exe file.

Is there any way to regain the option for Windows XP in Display\Theme? And,
by the way, what is Luna?
TIA,
Carol S.

Luna (Luna.theme) is the Windows XP theme.

Luna.theme should be in C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes

Bliss.bmp is the file for Bliss wallpaper.

See if Bliss.bmp is in C:\WINDOWS\Web\Wallpaper

Read the instructions at the top.

Restore Luna Theme

339. XP Web\Wallpaper Defaults
This is a zip file with all the default XP wallpaper, it includes Bliss.bmp.

Opps. Forgot this.

Bliss is listed as a background, wallpaper.

Right click Desktop | Properties | Desktop tab |
Look in the list under Background

You might want to download, install, and check out the Microsoft Royale theme, which I
like more than Luna, the newer version of the Bliss wallpaper is nice, and the 3-D effects
give Windows XP some new life... (I did change some of the fonts though)...

Hi, you guys,
I love you both! Thanks for the promptness and excellence of the replies.
While I was waiting, I roamed MS and discovered that MS shares!!?? Luna
(a.k.a bliss) is performing from "resources," and the "3D XP" is a great
screensaver. My new favorite, however, is the Royale theme from New Zealand.
In addition, I somehow ended up downloading their Spring and Summer themes
(and screensavers) in Danish, both commendable. While I intended to get to
my first ASR backup today, this has been fun. Again, thank you.

Hi,
Actually, they were more New Zealand themes that I happened to download in
Danish because English did not seem to be listed. This link will give you a
start with all of them:
http://www.microsoft.com/nz/windowsxp/downloads/nzbliss.aspx
Just keep tracking back. Hope that you are a lover of nature . . . .

Sorry about the above info. I myself cannot get back to the downloads,
but the titles of the themes are: Dansk forårstema.msi and
Dansk sommertema.msi. Perhaps you will have better luck. If you
identify an address and have broadband, I can easily sent you
the files.

Thank you for uploading the files to YouSendIt. Some of the cursors are interesting, and
the spring screensaver is nice. The 3D effect of the Royale theme is still my favorite
though. I have customized some of the Royale theme settings (menu font type and size
etc.), and it has given new life to Windows XP. I really like the look...
