great sites, i sometimes spend hours looking and never find anything at all, i use paintshop pro and make a few when i have time. i have used theme packs, but i usually like to make a complete custom package, a little from this, a little from that....i like to use the window blinds program sometimes, but want different wallpaper, screensavers, and icons then come with them. styles xp( i downloaded a copy to try from a p2p just to see what it was in early 2k2) caused some problems so i got rid of it, they may have a new version, or maybe the one i had was corrupted in file transfer. i may need to try it again, download the trial version this time.

Most of the time I keep a blank fill of color for my desktop, but when I'm in a mood I download a few from themexp.org

I don't use wallpaper on my screen anymore, last time i tried it i got wall paper paste all over the screen and it was a right mess to clean let me tell you, and the thomas the tank engine wall paper i chose made it useless for me to see the screen so my wife told me to just use it for the walls like i was suppose to instead

I have never worked out how wall paper on your computers monitor does not get in the way i see nothing but a square piece of paper..

Am i doing something wrong?



J/Ks aside i like to have music wallpaper as in artists and such. But for now i am using the basic xp themes.

Been searching for some wallpapers lately, because I forgot to save the old ones to disc , the last time I backed up. I think this site is exquisite and just wanted to share it with whomever hasn't seen these.
