Theme that looks like XP? - The Political Machine Forums

Reply #1 May 31, 2008 11:08 PM from

I've been trying to find a theme (for windowblinds) that looks just like windows XP. I can't find one, and I really want it to look exactly like XP because I'm running vista and I liked XP's look a lot more. I am looking for the blue version also (there's green, olive, and blue).

What the hell's the matter with you?!

Just go to control panel,personalization and appearence,click on change color scheme,select windows classic and then select advanced to change the colors. I guess you have your reasons...but :NOTSURE: {edit} That's with WB's unloaded.

I don't think that will give you the 'Luna' look Wizard, I see classic windows there (the boxy version) but not Luna and or its various versions (the silver and olive.

There are some older XP looking (maybe not exactly like Luna) in the gallery for WindowBlinds, not sure how they would look on Vista.

some examples..
XP Format

Luna Element

Luna looked awful on XP, they'll be just as bad, if not worse on Vista.

Thank you for that info,as I've never seen or used XP,(I did play around with Win98)or applied anything to this PC but Vista Basic,the default, or WindowBlinds.I guess I just don't know what I'm missing

don't worry.. you're not missing much. The silver version is ok, but the blue is awful, and the green looks like goose poo...
