Thread: Halloween themed desktop skins?

Tweet

Hi everyone, well Ive been searching for those themed skins and cant find anything Halloween related.

Is anyone using something like this and can you please point me to a place to get it, or to peruse some themes related to halloween?

Im finally cleaning up my desktop and thought to change all my icons, my pointer, ect but cant for the life of me find the desktop skin. Not wallpapers, I am going to upload some cool ones I found soon, but actual skins. I have an XP /windows machine.

I've looked for some myself. The worst part is that any of them that look decent are bound to be infected files of some kind. Sadly the best it seems you can do is find a really nice background you like and head over to cursorfx.com and find some nice desktop icons and cursors to match.

If you google search, serach for halloween destop themes not skins.

I only use a haunted or flamming screensaver but the wallpaper is my classic car..

There are a number of free image editors that can easily be used to create your own icons. Just open an image you like, crop, resize and save as .ico file. Here are a couple I use.

These are safe. I've used them for years.

thanks for the info everyone Maybe Ill look into making my own, I can do graphics after all, lol, juts never made a theme. I can make a website but go figure, lol.

You can also make your own custom cursors. A dagger or a pointing skeleton hand instead of the plain old white arrow. I use AniTuner.

This program makes static or animated cursors.
