It's a great improvement on the standard 'XP' look... but it still looks a bit messy and yuck in places.


Now, on the other hand....

I would care but for the fact that, like most of the programmes on my PC, I never paid for it. I'm such a scab.

I actually like the contrast between the title bar and the light gray main body of the application/folder, whatever it be. No doubting though that WMP looks far far better in black/neon blue then any other way.

The language centre in college uses only Macs, and had everyone registering a language online at the start of term. I've never seen so many confused students struggling to use a one-button mouse.

Out of interest where's this theme available from?

Don't waste your precious time by bothering to read the first post of the thread, will you, Keith?

Nick, that theme as far as I can tell is NOT the same as the one noelfirl posted. Perhaps you should waste some of your own precious time to read the entire thread, as the screen shot posted of the Zune theme clearly indicates differences.

It's called VistaXP, and was available here, when I got it:

...but seems to have been removed now. Checking the author's site, it appears that he has had some contact from Microsoft and has removed it himself. It's on my home PC, so I'll upload a copy of the files later on, or if anybody else can find an alternate source.

No, sorry, no time for that; I'm FAR too busy laughing at the way you edited the post I referred to, to try to make out that you were talking about something different, and in order to TRY not to look the complete idiot that you are.

Don't worry, Keith, it'll just be our little secret; I won't tell everyone that you're a prat.

Nick what are you on about? I haven't edited my original post containing noelfirl's screen shot since you replied, you just choose not to include it in your quoting of my post.

No edits appear in the logs for Mr Well's post, sorry Nick.

Might one enquire if you are refering to my good self, our good friend from Edinburgh, or that thick idiot, Keith?

I shall assume you mean the third in the list unless notified to the contrary.
