Windows XP Desktop Theme / Color

Windows XP is designated by Microsoft to use by default a new desktop theme :

	Colorful and in lots of blue shades ! But screen-dumps of such colorful windows are big, taking a lot of webserver space and (more important) take very long to download.
	There I am not using the new Windows XP desktop theme. In the "Display Properties" (right-click on an unused are of the desktop), tab : "Themes", I changed first the theme to "Windows Classic".
	Windows XP does NOT support anymore a color resolution of 256 colors, you have to use 16-bit or higher color resolutions. Screen-dumps with the sliding colors in the windows title look nice, but cause also large graphic-files and therefore long download times.
	I have therefore configure my Windows XP-system to use a reduced color system, looking very much the same as the 256-color resolution of Windows9x or Windows NT4.

Screendumps of such windows are much smaller and therefore download/display much quicker
and have therefore been used to document Windows XP procedures on this website.
