Hi,

Im new to this operating system and just installed it yesterday and I've figured out how to change the layout of the menu and the icon to access the menu, but my question is how can you change the menu bar theme or colour? is it possible to do this?

Thanks, Regards

Hi Member11, Welcome...you can change the theme menu (layout) base on the given option but no customization. If you want to change the color of the panel bar and windows? go to Control Center and click Appearance. From Appearance Preferences window under the Theme tab you can choice to change the theme or retain the default, then you can further customize it if you like to change the color of windows, panel bar(task bar), input box, selected items, tool tips and its font by clicking the button "Customize...". From Customize theme window you got 5 Tabs to play with. Have fun. If you like more, you can add a Plymouth Sunrise Splash screen that you can appreciate to look when your pc is booting up. go to my personal web site; http://photoemax.webs.com/desktopos.htm.

Seems as though Zorin splash screen manager is no longer available on that site. Anybody know where I can download it from?
