"Hi my name's Dave Andrews, today I'm going to show you how to create Windows XP themes. You can change the colors of most of your windows very easily by going to the theme section in Windows. Let's go to the computer and I'll show you how to do this. To customize your windows and create a theme, let's right click on the desktop, go to properties. In this tab we're going to select appearance. We have here the scheme for colors, right now I'm on the default blue, but what we want to do is create our own custom one. So let's click advanced. In this advanced appearance dialogue, you can click on any part of the windows that are displayed here, and change some details about them. Now let's click on the active window bar up here, let's say I want it to be the color red, and transfer over to the color blue. We can also change the size of the font, and the font that shows up itself. Let's me change this to another size, and let's select okay. And apply. It will reload the theme section, and as you can see all of our windows now have our new properties. It's very easy to create a theme in Microsoft Windows XP. My name is Dave Andrews, and I've just showed you how to create a theme using Microsoft Windows XP."
