Hello All..Some people know of Skins and themes for Computers...I was wondering does anyone know of any website where i can find some? and it is OK for your computer?

Probably one of the most common sets of themes are for WindowBlinds, by Object desktop. It's not paticularly inexpensive, but there are a lot of skins available on community websites made by hobbyists, for free download. They also have their own "Skin Studio" for creating your own.

In general, I don't think that themes and skins can be harmful to your computer. They could become a little glitchy on less-powerful systems, as they tend to be 'resource-intensive'.

i find it depends on how far you go, changing the 'OS' startup and/or shutdown screen can harmful with out good coding.

http://xptheme.info this is a good reliable xp theme site, but i thinkyou may have to register.

Go to

http://www.neowin.net/forum/

Scroll down to

'Customizing Windows XP'

Click on that,

then click on

'Completed Visual Styles'

And take a look at each thread. Each thread should have a screenshot and a download url for loads of free themes. I've used some of them before and they are alright

Regards,
JB
