[QUOTE="AtlBo, post: 802232, member: 32547"] Since I had to do some work on an old XP machine, decided to see if I could improve the experience some. Using W10 mouse pointers and sound scheme. First time ever I felt like Windows XP could be AT ALL worth anyone's time. Great fun now, but hard to get the computer to this point. If someone has an old XP computer, the modding is fun to do, but time consuming. Let me know if you would like some pointers and on security and browsers and so on too. Here is the desktop: [ATTACH alt="210165"]210165[/ATTACH] And here are the wallpapers I am working with. Did vector tracing of an actual picture to generate these, and the light colored ones are based on the "Negative" (feature in Irfanview) of the first: [ATTACH alt="210166"]210166[/ATTACH][ATTACH alt="210174"]210174[/ATTACH][ATTACH alt="210173"]210173[/ATTACH] Mouse scroll sound change using Volume^2. Found a skin for it that I liked and modded it this way: [ATTACH alt="210169"]210169[/ATTACH] Looks excellent with the start menu and task bar. Also, the skin notifies in the same way for USB insert/remove, no sound, media (CD/DVD) insertion, battery, and brightness. Great with the W10 sound theme. :D(y) [/QUOTE]
