Rainy Day Classic Windows XP Theme For Vista Users

Since MS was being stupid and didn't include the classic Rainy Day theme in Vista, I've gone ahead and made a theme file based on the XP version and uploaded it. All you have to do, is download it, double click it, and the theme will load in your system. RainyDay-Classic.Theme

Roger BryantThere are three ways to lose money. Gambling is the quickest. Dating can be the most fun. Upgrading to Vista is definitely the surest.....

BrielleWould have been nice if they offered us the option of XP or Vista, but alas, Balmer has hit the crackpipe so much that he thinks Vista is on the level of sliced bread.

I tried installing XP on this laptop - no go. It has the lovely Nvidia Nforce 630m and GForce 7150M - both of which are known to not work correctly in XP even if you have the right drivers.

VistaThen your screwed wave bye to XP as all available methods to get it except for the pcs that shouldnt exist lose all means of getting or buying XP.

Meanwhile learn how to upgrade and if you think vista sucks...learn to use a pc.

RebootThanks for the Rainy day theme, I've been using that theme since 98. I'm happily running my Windows Server 2008 with this theme. You're a life saver!

bruceIs the file missing? All I get at the top of the page where the file should be is "Page not found"

Really would like to get this for vista.

Thanks for your effort.

MandrakeP.You are just about my hero of the day. I've been using rainy day since win95 and hated not having it.

I hope the karma fairies put a 20 dollar bill in your pocket or something!

Best,

Mandrake P.
