(Intel Graphics chip set factory included software) ....And not "Window's Themes" which I am well aware of but cannot be accessed in the way described (i.e. directly accessed by right-clicking on the desktop and using the "Graphics" sub-menus). To access Window's Themes you would right-click on the desktop and choose "Properties" which would bring up the first page of the "Display" control panel extension (i.e. Themes). == Cheers, Tim Meddick, Peckham, London. :-) "J.

[] Sorry, I've just tried: right-click on an empty bit of desktop, select Properties: "Display Properties"* window comes up, with the left-most tab - "Themes" - open: a top left box in it allows me to load and save themes. (XPSP3, though something similar I'm sure I've had via a similar route back to at least '98, if not '95 and possibly even 3.1). -- J. P. Gilliver.

I don't know what it is you're saying. I say [again] that I'm well aware of what "Themes" are, and that they are "saveable" as [.theme] files. I even explained how to navigate to them on the first page of "Display Properties". The "Schemes" quoted by the OP refers to the "Graphics Schemes" right-click desktop sub-menu. The two things are poles apart. "Themes" and "Schemes" only similarity is that they rhyme together. I felt I had explained sufficiently already, obviously enough for the OP == Cheers, Tim Meddick, Peckham, London. :-) |
