sorry that was a reference to a theme download i did last night and i ended up with a theme that all merged into black (background and text) so i could not even get into my settings, well i could if i had time,used the force and was lucky, but i had to guess where the actual text was cause all i could see was my pointer and a few uselessly small logos that made no sense, anyway a safe mode, restore doodah and few pints of guinness later surprisingly all is well and i can now see my desk top, although with guinness it usually works the other way round. But it is these anomolies that make this life interesting

I went to some of those links and ended up with 3rd party EULA's NO THANKS!!!!

However, I DID find one that has NO 3rd party EULA's and has some great themes. And some good links to the artists as well. http://www.themedoctor.com/ Liz

We've all been there, so I figure someone on this site must know a place or places where I and anyone else who reads this thread can download some neat modes. If there is a site that may not be approriate to post on here please private message me, but if I get a bunch of spyware, I'll come looking for you joking. Thanks guys and gals

Here's some info you might find useful.

http://www.themexp.org/
You'll have to download Style XP, they say it's shareware, but I've been using it forever so you'll not have to worry about that. There should be a link to the program somewhere on that page.

Also, if you'd like some widgets on your desktop. Check this site out.

Here's a shot of my current desktop


Happy hunting
