i appreciate your help to change my win2000 appereance. Visual styles work for win 2000?

there are no visual styles for 2000.. you can use windowblinds 4.6 and under to skin it, and that's about it.

The best way would be to upgrade to XP.

Flyakite does not work. Do not install it on your 2k computer.

If you cannot change your OS, I would recommend you to use a shell replacement like LiteStep or Aston :)

i agree. i'm not a big fan of windowblinds on w2k. it's just not quite right. i also played around with hoverdesk for a while. kinda neat.

I messed with LiteStep for so long, this baby can make wonders ;)

Yeah, WB on Win 200 is kinda laggy and wierd. I'd suggest moving to Litestep. They have some nice themes for that. I don't really recommend Aston, as it costs money, while Litestep is 100% free!

Aston is payware? I didn't knew that since I never used the program, I just named some shell replacements to help gonzalomoscoso out ;)

Anybody here tried BlackBox? I'm curious, there are so many themes for it on devART... is it worth giving a shot?
