Am I the only one...
« on: November 26, 2003, 12:58:20 AM »
...who got tired of the flashy graphics in XP and defaulted back to the Win 2000 style?

And I must say I like it a lot better.
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAPETIME!

I like the XP colours and graphics. I thought the old style was a bit boring.

I guess I\'m just old fashioned. I like the clean Win 2000-like style.

The level of customization is neat but the standard xp look drives me crazy. Im all for the old school look.

I haven\'t messed with mine at all.  I had style xp before, but then it cancelled on me because I didn\'t buy it.  I\'ve never messed with it since.

The new look was the first thing I removed when I installed.

Style XP rocks, I hope Longhorn has a feature like this embedded.

Why does StyleXP suck? Doesn\'t seem to take up a lot of resources and doesn\'t mess everything up like for instance Stardock Object Desktop.

I think it causes my OS to load a lot slower.  Could be other things though.
