MalekTips - Slap me Some Skin
Do you like the look of your machine? Not the physical box itself (that’s another story), but the look of your desktop? If not, you can change your operating system's look a surprising number of ways. You can change the color scheme so on-screen windows are blue-green instead of gray. Icons can be expanded or contracted, fonts can be alternated, and the background of the desktop can even be replaced with pictures of hot-air balloons or prairie animals.
Don’t know how to do this? Right-click on an empty area of your desktop and choose “Properties”. Click the tabs on the dialog box that appears, and have fun customizing to your heart’s content.
For some, though, this isn’t enough. Many people want to take applications and change
their entire look and feel. While programs such as Navigator and Internet Explorer let
you change the positions of toolbars and other miscellaneous visual features, a growing
number of software packages let users change much more. For users who want true
customization power, we now have the concept of skins.
