I have been using Microsoft Windows Vista for quite a while now. And I think the layout in Vista is awesome. Maybe not as cool as Mac OS X though.

When I get back to my desktop which is running Windows XP, I think that it look hideous. So I browse the net and found some new XP theme that can make it look better.

I don’t like to install those third party programs (e.g. Stardock’s Windows Blinds) because it will eat up more resources on my computer. So I am aiming for an official Microsoft’s theme. I found 3 of them on the internet.

The first one is a sweet black XP theme. You just need to download it here and install it. Then you are good to go. Here’s a sample of what it looks like:

Then there is this Royale which you can download here:

and Royale Noir, here:

I have also download the Vista mouse cursor which you can download here:

For the mouse cursor, download it and then unzip. Then right-click the ‘install.inf’ file then click install.

I hope you would enjoy messing up with your computer. Have fun!
