Desktop themes were separate Windows components that you could install from your Windows Me/98 CD-ROM, while desktop schemes wre selected from the Display Properties dialog box. Windows 98 and Me had both 'desktop schemes' and desktop themes. By changing themes, you can alter everything about the appearance of your desktop in one fell swoop. A desktop theme is a complete 'look' for your desktop. However, getting a collection of colors, icons, pictures, fonts, mouse pointers, screen savers, and so on that look good together takes more time and artistic talent than most of us have. You can change the appearance of practically anything on your desktop.
