XP has by far been the best Microsoft OS. Everything else is too buggy for me.

I know this is an old thread, but I still have to give props to XP. Maybe Windows 7 will be better than vista?

That’s a pretty nice theme. I would definitely use it if I were still using XP, though I’m slowly getting used to my new Vista machine.

That’s completely untrue. I have this installed on four SP3 machines – each with different hardware configurations.

I know this is the wrong place, but how do you add extra color schemes to the Windows XP Standard theme

Because I’ve found a couple of folders with the required shellstyle.dll files, but I don’t know what to do after that. Advice would be nice please! Here’s my face right now:

What a cool looking theme. I can’t just give up XP for Vista just yet. Maybe this is a nice compromise. -Sammy

I have downloaded it and it works fine…untill i restart or turn off. If I do either of those, when the computer comes back on, the theme is back to the absolute basic default. Very annyoing. Any ideas?
