Windows XP Style

[John Smith]

Anyone help with this one?

In Control panel/Display properties/Appearance/Windows and Buttons I have
only Windows XP style available:-

1. Anyone know where I can find the file on my hard drive for Windows XP
Style?
2. Where to go to download additional Windows and Buttons Styles?

Thanks.

You can of course make your own, but I suggest that you first try other
people's efforts. These can be found on the web using Google of your fav
search engine. Some need an additional program installing to run the themes,
some don't. It can be great fun finding all this out. So don't rush it, just
take a step at a time.

Have Fun!

1. Windows XP is the Luna.theme.
%systemroot%\Resources\Themes\Luna.theme

If you select a visual style other than Windows Classic, that style
determines the appearance of your menus, fonts, icons, and other Window
elements. Including Windows and buttons.

[[Lists the visual styles that are available for the theme that is currently
selected on the Themes tab. ]]

[[NOTE: You can change the look of individual items if you select Windows
Classic style in the Windows and buttons list on the Appearance tab of
Display Properties. (Right-click an empty area of your desktop, then click
Properties, and then click the Appearance tab). If you select a visual style
other than Windows Classic, that style determines the appearance of your
menus, fonts, icons, and other Window elements. ]]
