The website is a huge music archive of songs from known – and unknown – television series. As far as I can tell only the tunes of the original American tv series are available. All songs are listed alphabetically, just pick a letter and you will be presented with a huge list of tv shows beginning with that letter. There have to be way more than 1000 tv themes available on Television Tunes.

You can expect to find many old tv themes for series like The A-Team, Dallas, Wheel of Fortune or The Outer Limits but also new shows like 24, Alias or Desperate Housewives.

A click on a name opens an embedded music player that starts playing the song automatically. Songs can be downloaded in mp3 format or emailed (the link only). Last but not least a list of related tunes is listed on that page. I have the feelings that at least some of the tunes have been recorded straight from TV which reduced their quality a lot.

Today I’m going to introduce popular TV Themes for Windows XP that you can use if you have patched the file. You will see some wonderful creative themes centering around a tv show or character, wonderful if you are a fan and would like to use a theme that brings you closer to the show or the character.

Expect Windows XP themes of Spiderman, Superman, Batman, Dragonball, The Simpsons, Fantastic 4 and The Flash. Let me explain how you install those themes. Once you have patched the uxtheme.dll you need to unpack the themes that you download into the Windows/Resources/Themes folder. When that is done double-click the .mstyles file which should open the Appearance tab in Display Properties. Click Apply and you are all set.

You sometimes have the choice between several styles for Windows and Buttons as well as Color Schemes. Use the pulldown menus on the left to see if that is the case for the selected theme.
