Windows XP Enhancements

Post by Charlie Bravo »

For all those that don't intend on moving to Windows Vista but are bored with the bland look of XP, try this out.
I've been using it for some time and if you don't like it you can remove it. If you try it out, use the Crystal Clear pack as it's more up to date.

XP only mate. If it's not to your taste though, the program has an uninstall facility which puts XP back to how it was.

Not sure to be honest mate. I intend to stay with XP until my next major upgrade which won't be for a while yet.

There is still a classic start menu on vista, But I prefer the clear desktop introduced with XP. :smile:

Exactly Ian.........that's what it reminds me of..........the posters in a fun to learn centre. :huf:

Big buttons for little fingers..bright colour to stimulate little minds :lol:

The old style was developed to be pleasing on the eyes.....nothings changed so why change it :curse:
