I'm a bit bored of the blue outline on the screen. However I don't like olive

green or silver. Are there any other colours I can choose from?

Are you talking about the desktop? Change it to any color you want.



Right click desktop

click "Properties"

Appearance tab

Advanced

Delect "Desktop" in "Item" box

Click color

Choose color ("Other" for more)

OK/Apply your way out

My windows. At the moment all the dialogue boxes are blue, the top and bottom

of the computer screen is blue, I wanna change it but in control

panel/Display/Appearnce all it offers are blue (default), olive green or

silver.

That doesn't change the blue border of the screen and dialoge boxes.

You need to install additional themes. Here are some provided by Microsoft.

I've used the Zune theme for some time now. Click on the Screenshots link to

see what borders you get.

From what I can gather there are programs available that will let you make

custom themes. Since this isn't something I was ever interested in I never

checked them out. For you I'd suggested running a Google search for XP

themes and see what you come up with.



Good luck
