WindowBlinds Changing Windows XP Skin

You use the computer and see the same old Windows XP screen everyday. Apart from toggling its theme between Windows XP Classic style and Windows XP style, sizing up / down desktop icons and menu and customizing the wallpaper you probably can’t do much with the interface.

Pretty boring isn’t it? Few years back, Winamp (Windows Media Player equivalent) skins were already very popular. I believe the same could be done to the operating system. With deliberate searching, I came across WindowBlinds – a simple to use software that allows us to customize almost every single component on the Windows XP display.

With just a click of the button, WindowBlinds can personalize your desktop to a theme of your choice. I really like the part about changing Windows XP skin. It’s possible to make Windows XP look entirely like another operating system. Sick of the boring menus that popup with the click of the Start button? Change them! How about the tasteless title bars? Change them too!

Personally I really enjoyed toying around with this software. There are thousands of themes to choose from and you can personalize every single aspect even after a theme is deployed. Windows never look boring ever since and have to admit I got really addicted to it.

Don’t worry if you are a Vista user. Newer versions of WindowBlinds support Windows Vista too.
