I've tested these with the following Puppies:
Classic Pup 2.14xRC5; Puppy Linux 4.1.2 / 4.3.1; Wary 5.1.1 / 5.1.4.1.
Includes background / window themes similar to WinXP / 2000 / 95.
(For the last two, I've included a second set of lighter backgrounds to minimize eye strain.)
To change desktop icons' text color / font / size:
* Menu / Filesystem / ROX-Filer file manager.
* Right-click in window; left-click Options, then Pinboard.
* Look under Appearance section.
Make icon text color white by clicking on Foreground: and changing Color name: to #ffffff.
Font style and size can also be changed here.
XP-style background (litrix_q85.jpg) is the last revision pakt posted here.

What's a "defrag" anyway?
Seriously though harii, like Chris, I nearly choked on my coffee when I'd read that comment. LOL! But once again Dewbie - you've done an excellent job with your theming work here! While I've never run XP/2000 myself, I've seen my son's copy of XP when he used it ( before I converted him to Puppy of course! ) and your theme is VERY convincing indeed. These would be really great themes to use for friends who experience difficulty in coming over from said systems to Puppy ( although I don't see why anyone would ever have difficulty... though I've been told I do live in an Ivory Tower. LOL! ).
Thanks for your continued hard work towards improving Puppy for all Dewbie. Excellent job!
