Personalized Windows XP Color Scheme

This tutorial should help you change your appearance settings in Windows XP.

1. Hit the Start button, Control Panel. When that opens, double-click your Display settings.

2.  XP organizes display view by what they term a "theme". When you make changes, you modify the theme, or you can save all your custom settings as a custom theme.

When looking at the Display Properties screen, click the Appearance tab. From here, you can set the "look" as either classic or XP. You also have a couple color scheme choices, and you can make the font size larger or smaller.

For even more options, hit the Advanced button. This screen allows you to further customize windows. You can adjust your Desktop background colors, title bars, icon size, etc.

Once you have Windows set up the way you want it, click the Themes tab on the Display Settings screen. Once there, click the Save As button to save all your settings as a customized theme.
