Customization in Vista

Hmm. ..customizing Vista requires rewiring your brain if you have been used to WinXP for a while.

If you want to change the desktop background you need to:

Click Start, click on control panel (on the transparent section RHS) then find Personalization. Here you can change: Desktop Background, Screen Saver, Theme. Is it possible to take customization one step further and create a new Windows theme? A commercial product called Vista Style Builder has been written by Andreas Verhoeven, a programmer in Rotterdam. Andreas has done good work cracking the internal format of .msstyles files. Various styles can be found at skinbase.org.
