you're using windows xp correct? if so then

Download this it's the neowin uxtheme patcher.... it patches your uxtheme.dll file to allow the use of visual styles (or you can also use an app such as stylexp, but myself and most others prefer the patching of the dll file)

Once you do that go here and find a visual style you like

Visual Styles

Download it, extract it to C:\Windows\Resources\Themes (doesn't really matter where you put it though, that's just the default location)

Then go to where you extracted it to and double click the .msstyles file to apply the theme

:D :ninja: should work just fine

Had to post this one, 'cause it's the first "modding", I guess, that I've ever actually done to my desktop.  Most of it was Ryan teaching me, though.  I like it :D 

I've gotta find a better frame for his picture, instead of that "glass" one, though.  Something he's gonna have to show me.

      In that case this product has no value to me. I'd rather use older Creative SB that were better in my opinion or onboard audio chip.
