    Also windowblinds and another program do similar skinning.

    Make sure you backup your files just incase you screw up your kernal or something else. I've had issues removing these programs after tiring of them and others have had nightmare problems after installing them.

    But they are pretty cool :)

    Themes have always been out there, and not to mention they all get installed by something like Windows Blind or something, which cost money.

    Generally imo it adds additional unneed load, and most users dont think much about it when they go on the XP desktop to game, they just have it setup ONLY to game, I mean isn't it like if you just open IE you get infected almost within the first half an hour these days on XP?

    Anyways its a great suggestion for those who might be interested, personally I dont go on my XP desktop very often to care about it.
