Tarun Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Right click your Desktop and choose Properties. Then go under Appearance. Not an XP user but I -think- that wil be what you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only gives me a choice of silver background or green, I would like to get rid of the block style and/or font style as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChunkDog Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 You could use a program called "Windowblinds" or "Style XP" to change themes to other user created ones. You could also get a hacked file for windows xp to use user created themes as well, not sure what the file is called but I would recomend you use Windowblinds, I found it to be the best IMO, but try all solutions and see what you like.

prathapml Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Hi jjhirsch,Are you sure its a silver box? Then you are probably on the "Energy Blue" theme. You can just change it to standard XP (blue). Or if you don't like that either, download StyleXP and install it - then get yourself new themes (or "Visual Styles") from ThemeXP.Or if you really want something looking radical, check out Aston Desktop Shell.
