For people still using XP, the Ferrari Theme software allows you to change your entire Windows XP theme and transform your computer into the Formula One version of the famous Ferrari.

What You Get with Ferrari Theme

In terms of themes, you can’t get any more simple or straightforward than Ferrari Theme. A small download that only takes up around 188 KB of space, this program installs quickly and provides a classic Formula One look and feel for Windows XP users who enjoy the sport. Setting your background image or screensaver to various F1 cars is one thing, but Ferrari Theme gives you an opportunity to transform your PC into a desktop Ferrari. Your XP Start menu, notification boxes and toolbars will all have that classic Ferrari red look to them.

While the program is simple and crisp, it’s also highly detailed. Anyone can have a red theme on their computer, and if you’re still using XP instead of Vista, 7 and 8, then it’s a safe bet to say you have experimented with different themes and backgrounds before. Ferrari Theme gives you the complete Formula One experience, adding icons like the classic black Ferrari horse on a golden background, and the F1 checkered line.

What You Don't Get with Ferrari Theme

Unfortunately, Ferrari Theme being a simple program means it may also be lacking some features that Windows XP users are looking for. Take for example the way the program is advertised via the developer's page. Here, you will see that the Ferrari desktop background image is included. However, this image doesn’t come with the actual download. If you want the background image, you will have to find a separate wallpaper or some high-quality image from an Internet search.

While the colors are crisp and the theme is very attractive and eye-catching, it also doesn't have the bells and whistles that other themes have. Since Microsoft operating systems have been evolving, desktop themes have been evolving right alongside them. This means some themes for newer operating systems have different features like music, multiple images, different customizable settings, and other features that make for a more personalized desktop theme. Ferrari Theme is straightforward and doesn’t pack that wow factor a lot of users seek.

Though in terms of Windows XP, it’s actually a good theme. It’s not compatible with Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8, however.
