Can you have Windows 2003 Server display the Windows XP Visual Styles?

16. December 2004

Yes, you can!! If must turn on the “Theme” service in Windows 2003 Server to enable the Windows XP Visual Styles. Then go to the Display Properties in the Control Panel and set the “Windows and Buttons“ dropdown on the Appearance tab to “Windows XP Style”. And like magic you can have Windows 2003 Server look just like Windows XP!!

Sweet!!

Umm... Actually if you read my post, you'll see that if you turn on the "Theme" service on Win2003 then the XP visual styles will be available in Display properties.
