You can download themes for xp to make it look different. Right now I'm using a theme called VistaVG Black on my XP. Looks like Vista, with none of the slow! you can also change your logon screen by downloading a program called logonuibootrandomizer or looking up how to edit the registry manually. You can then set it to any background you want or you can download custom logon screens. Just use google to find these.

Here's an old pic of what my desktop looks like:

In simple,it's too hard to 'change' all of your XP display at all .
but,I know the software to change it all in some steps .
Check www.crystalxp.net and you can find some components to help you modifying your xp .
I'm using Vista Inspirat 2.0 Ultimate and I change my boot screen by installing the files from crystalxp .

Wow! Arrigatou sempai. But im ever seen themes more complicated,and i forgot where it was. Konata has popping on background start menu! The windows bars,anything that any bitmap could be there would be konata's friends. I want to make them by myself not someone's theme. It is possible?

I thought they put the theme creator in the site .
My friend had the theme creator,but it's an old-fashioned and uses old programs to modify the theme .
I have another alternate one .
Find WindowBlinds software(or if it's not free,I'll give the SN) and install it to your computer.
You can customize it at that site .

Sir.. Should my computer connected into internet while designing? It is a must? Because i dont have any internet lines. Thankyu for the info and i'll make sure to give it a try.

No, it is not a must.


...What? How are you posting, then?

I dunno about vista, but in XP it slows the computer down alot.

it depends .
If he could modify without tweaking the XP,it may be slowed dramatically.
I've tweaked my XP,and transform it like Vista,but I don't have any trouble so far .

@azchtein : if you don't have internet lines in your computer,no doubt,you can't do it .
Sorry,but that's true .
Seems you must take some software to modify your XP,like WindowBlinds .

right know i'd installed uxtheme patch,some custom theme can be use and some others cannot,thus my xp doesnt slow down.

Friend of mine just told me about windows blind and skinstudio from stardock. He said that skinstudio able to changes the visual from scratch. I shall give it a shot too..
And i'll put the report here when its done.

Arrigatou minna san...

Yeah,you're welcome .
Btw,the skinstudio is great,too .
But,I never use that software .
I usually use WindowBlinds and I could modify it .

Just post it at here if you have some troubles .
