I would use the color scheme of CGA in window xp, does anyone know the codes and how to put them to use them in the desktop window?

Here are the RGB values for the 16 CGA colors :

1Color                Hex Value       R   G   B
2Black                      00h       0   0   0
3Blue                       01h       0   0 170
4Green                      02h       0 170   0
5Cyan                       03h       0 170 170
6Red                        04h     170   0   0
7Magenta                    05h     170   0 170
8Brown                      06h     170  85   0
9White (Light Gray)         07h     170 170 170
10Gray   (Light Black)       08h      85  85  85
11Light Blue                 09h      85  85 255
12Light Green                0Ah      85 255  85
13Light Cyan                 0Bh      85 255 255
14Light Red                  0Ch     255  85  85
15Light Magenta              0Dh     255  85 255
16Yellow (Light Brown)       0Eh     255 255  85
17High Intensity White       0Fh     255 255 255

BEST REGARDS

1) Right click on desktop, click properties.
2) Select Appearance tab
3) Click Advanced
4) Click on the element you want to edit and click on "Color"
5) Click "Other"
6) Insert color value from the above table

Enjoy 😀

ok thanks but which color i assign exactly to desktop, windows etc..?

Whichever one you think looks best.

vorrei mettere in proprieta -> impostazioni di window non 65.000 colori ma 4 colori in modo che window li misceli automaticamente con tutto, perfino per le icone, è possibile?

Are you talking about running the Windows XP desktop in 4-color mode? The lowest I've ever seen anyone get it down to is 16 colors (i.e. standard VGA). Other than that, you'll pretty much have to resort to screwing around with the appearance settings.

then you can not do as I say?

We don't know what you said, because we can't read your language!

ToastyTech has a few shots of Windows 95 running in very low-color modes, but I doubt the same tricks can be applied to Windows XP.
