Wraith Fighter Posted September 8, 2006 Author Share Posted September 8, 2006 Yes Windowblinds http://www.stardock.com/products/windowblinds/ still has a version for 98. That's it (Y) . It's version 4.51 or 4.61 that does that mission. Thanks all. For Digix and JHatcher, i guess you should give it a try :) It applied several themes, but the only thing i couldn't do is changing the taskbar + start button to the XP view (I think that this very much, but i just wanted to do it :D ) Thanks again..

phot0nic Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Is there ANY way to use this program to get 98se to look like xp? Yes, I was using WindowBlinds on Windows 98, and making it look way better than XP before XP even came out. But be careful, although WindowBlinds is extremely low on resources when running it on XP, it is a complete resource hog on older versions of Windows. Just make sure that your machine can handle it.

WooSH Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 no, i remember there was a way to use the xp theme on windows 98. without the use of thirdparty programs. it was a quick simple way. install a patch and a little program..well iguess thats thirdparty, but its really small. and it works. look for it, its not hopeless...wish i could pull it up but this was like 5 years ago.

spyglass Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 There was a old program called "efxskinner" that worked well ....(i googled but couldn't find a link) i could upload here (only 98kb) plus a bunch of old skins i have (easy to make your own) if it's ok with the mods?

Asharae Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 IMO I think Win 98 is sometimes more stable than XP and still boots up quicker however bogged down with dirt it gets. However, I want to play games so XP comes first hehe :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/494016-vista-and-xp-themes-for-win98-se/#findComment-587994198 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BetaguyGZT Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 There's also older versions of ObjectBar that run fine on 98. Failing that, there's always Litestep. :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/494016-vista-and-xp-themes-for-win98-se/#findComment-588009684 Share on other sites More sharing options...
