I've had to reset Windows and have lost all my themes etc. as it went back to the plain and dull looking normal XP mode. I've downloaded the Vista Inspirat Brico Pack from CrystalXP.net now but was wondering if there was anywhere to download nicer themes and add ons etc. Looking for a desktop calendar similar to this: http://www.corsasport.co.uk/carimages/3661/untitled.jpg

I was also wondering how do you change the default font used by Windows for icon, in Explorer, etc. I'm sure I done it before to a nicer smoother font and I'm sure I got the answer on here before. But no luck using search tho.

Konfabulator for the calendar.
Deviantart or Neowin.net for some good themes.
Display Properties > Appearance > Advanced for the Icon text.

Thanks James, good sites but that didn't solve my font problem.
So the text on screen looks more like this: http://crystalxp.zerackiel.net/_resources/vista3b.jpg
Than the default pixelated Tahoma etc.
