The first drop down menu determines whether your computer will use
Windows XP or Windows Classic Style. A preview of your select will

below.
The Advanced Appearances Button: Allows you to determine specific
colors, fonts and sizes for various windows aspects. The available
items are in the drop down list with their colors, fonts and sizes
displaying below them once selected. For example, you want your
icons, system wide to be in Verdana 10pt Bold. No problem, just
scroll through the drop down list to Icon, select Verdana font,
adjust the size, select the font style and voila, all set. Feel
free to experiment! |
