i am currently using the zune theme on my Windows XP computer. i also have
the engery blue, olive green, silver, and the default blue, which you all
know those three themes come with the operating system, while the other two
do not, unless you download them or you have MCE edition or tablet PC
edition of Windows XP. now what i was wondering if there were any additional
themes that you could download. does anyone know of any?

i do not mean the christmas theme or whatnot (it is a sub-theme of the
silver theme), i mean a theme that adds a whole new color theme and whatnot
like each of these main themes do.
 
Check out microsofts plus for XP it has extra themes and related items

i already have microsoft plus, that just adds sub themes to the olive green
and silver themes and whatnot... i have XP tablet PC edition on my notebook
and that version of XP does not comes with the olive geen theme for some odd
reason, but installing microsoft plus will add it.

what i want is additional themes like the zune theme. i want themes in other
colors, maybe red, purple, or any other color if possible.

Google is your friend, do a search for XP themes.
but be very careful, lots of them are jampacked with spyware/malware

Does anyone know where I can find this Zune Theme. I had it originally, but I
recently formatted my computer, and the Zune site has changed its layout.
Could someone please provide the link to the site where the download is now
located.
Thank you

It took just seconds to run a web search. Next time, try that.

windows xp themes problem

I had the basic themes for XP that everyone else does (classic, olive,
etc...) but something happened to my computer and now, it's on classic
windows theme (not the XP) and I can't get it to change. None of the other
themes are there anymore. Is there any way for me to get them back? A site to
download them? Anything, but this classic theme is just horrible. I feel like
I'm back in 1998
 
Re: windows xp themes problem

Have you used a Restore Point from System Restore back to when it was
working properly? That would be the easiest way.
