| Hi, I have always had problems installing 3rd party themes in windows xp . I want to install this really cool alienware theme . But if i install it in my computer and apply it . I find that my task bar,scroll bar , title bar all get the windows 98 look .(The theme only gets partially installed ). I also found that this problem existed for all 3rd party themes i tried installing. As i was succeful in completely installing Microsoft's themes for XP like Zune , Royale etc .... So people Tell me the correct way of installing 3rd party themes .... Alienware Theme for XP Click on the button Download Alienware GUIse Trivia : The word GUIse is a pun. It means Graphical User Interfaces (GUIse) Also means guise [as in Disguise ] for your Windows XP o.s |
