Hello there,
I'm using Windows 2000 for the time being. Please I'd like to know if there is any styles or themes for windows 2000 like vista inspirate for windows xp.
Thanks

Windows blinds classic looks interesting, but i heard its a system hog. And right now, windows 2000 is running smooth, so i will just leave it as it is. I have a nice wallpaper and i change the colors on my desktop, so it looks pretty good.

peace

Thanks

I believe Windows 2k uses the Win98 style themes. Run themes.exe and you should see it.

Just to update something. Windows Blinds is not a system hog. Also, windows blinds 4.6 is free, kinda. You can use alot of skins, but some skins and options are locked. I am however, not using it(at the moment), but i just wanted to say its not a system hog.

You know what, i am not even going to get mad or say too much. But i tried uninstalling this program, because it wasn't working well to began with, ( not going into details, but some of my programs stop working , ) and now all my icons look like a POS. Just like Uberskin, i am passing on all of these programs that mess around with your system files.

Use at your own risk? LOL yea i see. So now i have to reinstall windows 2000 and start all over again.

Thats all i am going to say, just trying to stay calm here. :whistle:

The only good thing, it only takes about 20 mins to reinstall w2k, the bad thing, i have put everything , and every program back, ugh.

But again, just trying to stay calm :}

I am going to stick with using windows blinds, safe, quick, doesn't message around with your system files.
peace
