    I downloaded,and installed several XP Themes,.Via links attributive from Microsoft.coms website,. "Windows Market Place ".

    Im using XP Home Edition here. Wich did not come with any additional 'Themes ". Was looking to utilize perhaps the Fishtank screen saver,The 'Outerspace themes,as were with w98SE.

    I found and downloaded:

    Aquatica
    Arysta
    Blacgold
    Celestial
    Continuum
    Dreams
    Illusion
    Softchrome

    ....I noticed that these where previous to XP service pack 2.Howebeit,I decided to try them.
    When I installed these,and tried to use them.(Note I only installed 3 of them).The "Classic theme ",with the sqaure edged Dialog boxes etc came up.Running the computer with the Classic theme.Along with within my System Display not having any controls of wich to set parameters for the Themes.(there was no way to implement the themes from the Display controls).
    Basically the only thing that would change would be the background(desktop) with several Desktop Icons.Yet Tool bars,menu,Title Bars would remain unchanged.
    I dont know if this is attributed to the Program,Display Card Limit(it runs XPs 'theme reasonably well),or some kind of fluke between the post XP service pack 2.


    I could probably run down the author of these installed programs.Or the link download location. Note these were freebies,and Microsoft has several 'Themes wich one can purchase for 20$.


    I was wondering 'how I can unistall a 'Theme "in XP Home Edition'.

    - The Add-Remove programs does not have them listed.
    - The 'Resources Folder'- in wich a Theme is installed to,does not have an 'Uninstall Utility ".

    ....I could give some more details.If needed to be relevant. Just how to "uninstall a Theme" installed onto the computer for the XP Home Edition ".[ ]?

    You don't need to have an uninstall utility, just delete the folder of the theme you want to remove in the resources folder






    no utility
