Enhance your interface by applying themes in
Windows XP!
Themes are a set of visual elements, including the
style of the windows, colors, fonts, background,
and screensaver images, which provide a unified
look for your desktop. Themes can also encompass
the set of sounds associated with Windows events,
such as opening and closing a program. Windows XP
provides a whole host of built-in themes you can
apply to your desktop.
To apply a new desktop theme, right-click on an
empty area of the desktop, and then choose
Properties. Make sure the Themes tab is selected
in the Display Properties dialog box. Any
background image and color and font settings
you've already specified appear as My Current
Theme.
Next, display the Theme dropdown list and select
another theme. The elements of the theme appear in
the Sample box. If you select the More Themes
Online choice, you'll be brought to the Microsoft
Plus! For Windows XP Web site, which allows you to
purchase and download additional themes. Click
Apply to see how a selected theme would look on
your actual desktop. The dialog box stays open,
but the theme is applied throughout your desktop.
Click OK when you've decided on the theme you
want. The appearance of your desktop is updated to
reflect the theme.
Share your digital images in ME!
Have you ever wanted to quickly share with friends
and relatives a digital picture you just took, but
didn't want to waste time saving the image to your
hard drive first before you could attach it to an
email message? This is possible with Windows Me as
long as your camera is connected directly to your
computer.
All you need to do is plug your camera into your
computer and in your email software, follow the
steps necessary to insert an image (in Outlook
Express choose Insert | Picture and then click
Browse). Your email package will ask you to locate
the image, and all you need to do is browse to
where your camera is located on the file tree.
Select your camera, then locate the picture you
want to attach.
