test drive

I decided to scrap XP and give server 2003 a test drive, I have to say I miss the look of xp, but this is one sweet system. Very 2000 pro like, and NT4 in some other area's. I picked up the copy here:


http://microsoft.order-5.com/windowsserver2003evaldl/d.asp?o=DD8G3NKKVTDM9LUDVJSRF2JB41


It's the trial copy.



One question, does anyone that may have used this know of anything like blinds or style xp for this? I would just like to change the menu colors to something a little darker as well as the whole start bar.


thanks

The only thing that page deals with is enabling the "Themes Services" in Windows 2k3

Thanks everyone but no actually that link was pretty sweet, once you enable the themes service, you can then follow their so called hack for the dx file and use visuals from themexp with out any other stuff.



so thanks again..

Style XP v2.01 works with Server 2k3, I think you have to enable themes service for it to work, I had it when I was using Server 2k3
