IBM Themes for Windows XP

#1 Post by CRAZYBUBBA » Mon Jan 05, 2009 8:44 pm

Where can I find more IBM themes for Windows XP? My Computer came with two really great ones and I'd like to find more.

I'm talking about the themes that come up when you right click on your wallpaper and press "properties"

I found the Windows XP Royale Noir theme a while back. It is the same style as the MCE 2005 theme, but with a black option which go great with thinkpads. Add the the thinkpad icon pack and it looks great.
I have finally rejoined the dark side.

Are you talking about the IBM wallpapers and themes? In such case, see the sicky FAQ (thinkpads.com - Frequently Asked Questions), the point 13) Where did IBM hide all the screensavers and wallpapers? I have picked up quie a few from the Russian Thinkpad site - works without any problems!

If you try Google for "ThinkPad theemes" you find some 629.000 hits... did you try that yourself, before asking? If you Search this forum you'll find some 293 hits... Searching is an easy way to find things! :wink:

Thanks for the links. I had acually looked through both but there are many wallpapers and screensavers but almost no themes. By theme I mean a "skin" for the computer that changes the appearance of the desktop mt computer, my documents etc like "Think Theme" and "active think" on my T43.

Go to flickr.com, search thinkpad wallpaper, 96 results, including several of the eraserhead wallpapers. Many of the official lenovo china wallpapers. Found this on some obscure lenovo usa link/site that stated they were making available wallpaper for desktop here.
