I had to post a Boa photo here so one of the moderators doesn't move this post. She is a beauty isn't she!

This is unBOAlievable...

This is what you must do!

This only works for "Windows" users.

1. Click your "Start" button on the lower left of your screen.
2. Move your cursor up to "Settings".
3. A menu appears. Move over to "Control Panel" and click it.
4. I window opens called "Control Panel". Look for an icon named "Display" and double click it.
5. A window opens titled "Display Properties". Look for the "Appearance" tab and click it once.
6. This "Appearance" tab opens and there is a drop down menu a little more than half way down the page called "Scheme:" just above that drop down window. Click the arrow on the right end of that drop down window. Scroll down to where it says "Slate". Click "Slate".
7. Now on the bottom right there is a button called "Apply" that you will click now.
8. After this click "OK". You will also need to "X" out of the "Control Panel" window.
9. Now note how cool your entire monitor looks! This brings you around to very closely match "The Boa ThinkTank" color schemes! Awesome huh!?
10. Do not do this on your parents computer without their permission. They may not appreciate someone just changing the colors in the background. This has absolutely no negative impact on images you will view on your computer. IT only affects the backgrounds like those here while using Internet Explorer.
11. If you make this change and like it please post that here so I can know about it! Thanks!

Hello out there, I just did the settings change, and I love it.  I am really interested in silver & gray, hence my trying to find outrageous silverbacks and other various silver reptiles.  If you like silver appearences and themes, I suggest you also make this change.
Thanks Jeff,

I don't get it, I don't see any difference between the way I have my setting now and the way you suggest that
they be set. But I guess I'm a little slow when it comes to these matters of computers and monitors.

To me the snake looks good regardless of the Appearance Desktop settings, if anything I would have thought that it would be the gamma/contrast/brightness settings that would matter. But enough of my mindless rambling,
what do I know about these things.



WOW'ers this is my first ever post here.
