Gant 2 Ocean SP2

Despite being one of the most popular operating systems in the world, Windows XP is not the most impressive OS in terms of visual appearance.

Fortunately, there are many options at hand for those who want to beautify its interface without losing any of the functions. One of the alternatives is called Gant 2 Ocean SP2 and it can help you overhaul the look of your OS, but also of some of your apps.

Before installing it on your computer, it needs to mention that your OS needs to have Service Pack 2 installed, otherwise the installer displays a notification message and you are encouraged to use the ‘Extract files’ option.

Gant 2 Ocean SP2 basically replaces the system files (such as CPLs, DLLs or EXEs) with the some customized ones stored in the pack. Considering this is an extensive process, it is recommended to close all running applications that you no longer need.

A restore point is created as your current system files are backed up, so you can restore them if anything goes wrong. As opposed to other similar apps, you do not even need to rebuild the icon cache once the installation is complete, since this is performed automatically.

A nifty part of Gant 2 Ocean SP2 is that it also customizes the GUI (graphical user interface) of several third-party apps, assuming they are already installed on your computer, namely eMule, FlashFXP, MSN Messenger, WinRar and WinZip.

Gant 2 Ocean SP2 can prove to be a nice way to tweak the appearance of your OS, replace the icons of some of its programs (like Windows Media Player, Paint, Notepad or Wordpad) and skin some third-party utilities.
