Thought I'd post this thing I found while hunting for some XP skins...

Maybe you'all didn't know about it.

Woah...looks awesome.

Now...uh, how do you install it?

and what did you find in your search for themes? any cool Freespace ones? :D
I've actually just finished throwing together a few Descent themes to use on my computer.
Fun while it lasted.

You'll need the "Bootskin" Tool, made by Stardock.

That's the boot screen.

Remember to get the login screen as well. :p

It's a .bootskin file, and I haven't a clue how to use it.

That program is for VISTA. I have XP PRO. How do I make it work in Windoze XP?

Click the button that says Logon Studio XP for the Log-on screen modifier.

Click the button that says BootSkin XP for the boot screen modifier.

Good thing that at least the logon thing is unnecessary in Win7.

Of course not.

*.bootskin files associate to BootSkin, *.logonxp files associate to LogonStudio.

You need to install BootSkin to use *.bootskin files and LogonStudio to use *.logonxp files.

Okay, I got that. Gee, do I feel stupid; naturally Stardock made a version of bootskin for windows xp. Something as simple as clicking a stinkin' link; go ahead, call me a fool.

I found Bootskin XP for the bootskin, and I'll install it that way. Thanks for t3h help.
