Hi,

Never seem to slow it down for me. But then again, this is a power box, I wouldn't notice. And I do notice even the slightest of lag in BlackSquare, that's why I fixed it in the next up coming version.

I've been using a non-standard audio theme for years. Either it be Andre Louis', or one of my own manufacture. It never seemed to be that much of a problem.

Not usually. Most Audio themes are comprised of small sound clips like beeps, dings, and so on. Any modern processor should be able to handle an audio theme fairly well. The only case where it might effect performance is if someone goes overboard and uses a lot of high quality sounds that are long or very large. Then, you might see some performance lag, but in the main no.

Thank you for the answers. I was noticed a small lag on my computer, so I gave up using my favorite theme, instead I used the default one. But, now I use my favorite theme again, there's no problem for me too. Thanks for your answers again!

Hi,

Sure. You can find desktop themes at various places on the net. Try the database at themeworld.com for probably one of the largest database of custom PC desktop themes.

Okay sorry for the off topic question, but how do you change the audio themes on windows? Do you just copy the folder to somewhere in case you want the old sounds back, and then put your new sounds........ Wait! I don't know what I am trying to say!

Hi,

You change the desktop theme by going into the theme manager in control panel. Where and how you do this depends on what version of Windows you are using as the control panel in XP is different from Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8.

You go to audio affects or something from the control panel. Then, go to the second tab, then there you go change it to what ever.
