    Microsoft has posted a Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 Energy Blue Theme Pack; new colors, new effects and a new wallpaper will give your Tablet a fresh, updated appearance.

    With a little work, it is also possible to use this theme on a "normal" (non- Tablet PC) Windows XP.

    Thankyou Arie. "A change is a good as a holiday." :) (Well nearly)

    Should work on W2K3 as well?

    No. W2K3 only uses "Classic Windows style" for Windows & buttons, so it won't change anything.

    Sure Arie, It won't install on the default setup of W2K3, but... as I've run all the tweaks and turned on all the services that turns W2K3 into an XP lookalike. I have the XP themes turned on that are in W2K3, but turned off in services, it should work fine.
    Hardware, sound and graphics acceleration ar turned on as well as DirectX 9.0c installed.

    All thanks to the following brilliant site. :)

    Was faster than XP SP1, but now XP SP2 has nearly caught up to W2K3.

    That I can't tell you. I just checked it on a "default" W2K3 install...

    Yep, works fine in W2K3 with the Theme Service turned on.
    Slowly getting used to the two tone blue boarders around windows and taskbar etc. ;)
