The Windows XP operating system provides the user with the ability to customize the desktop. It is possible to change the font and size of individual elements, which include icons and title bars. The option to change the menu has also been implemented. It is recommended to start by choosing a desktop style, since when you apply a display style, all previously made changes in fonts, colors and sizes will be replaced by style templates.
