I have been reading it and subscribing to it for so long
I still remember when we had to use GO PCMAG commands to get to it on compuserve :(

But they still want me to pay to download there files :(

They were free many years ago
But they were purchased and have gone hill

You can google msstyles. There are many sites that have customized themes. First, you would need this: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enhancements/UXTheme-MultiPatcher.shtml

You can then google msstyles after you run the patcher. It is completely safe, spyware free. I've used it on many different XP computers with no problems.

AH yes the days of source codes being included
I still have a cd full of those
In Fact if CDROM.com is still online I'll bet most are still there
Now known as http://www.simtel.net/
