it is quite easy to design your own sound theme based
off of your favorite idm artist... gather up all the
cd's you have of them, find the sounds you want and
extract the audio off of the cd, give that sound a
name and save it to your hard drive. click
"start"/"control panel"/"sounds" and associate the
sounds you want with the actions you want.
i'm sure theme packages have already been put together
for the more well known idm artists, just try
searching for " "first_name last_name", "desktop
theme" " at google for example,
http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Aphex+Twin%22%2C+%22desktop+theme%22&hl=en
if you don't find anything on the artist you are
looling for, try just "theme", or "windows theme"
