Windows XP Themes

I just visited a friends house recently. He showed me his brand new computer. I looked at the desktop... but it wasn't that normal blue task bar that comes with windows XP, nor was it a lot of similar things that I was expecting. He told me he downloaded a "Windows Theme". I asked him where I could get one and how to apply it, and he said to me, "Not Telling!"

So, I wanted to know if anyone here on ZU could shed some light on how to do this. It would be very nice to hear if anyone could help me. Thanks in advance.

Well there is Window blinds that I know of. Um...MsStyles is another one. With things like these, you can get a new theme of your liking. I tried to use them but its hard to change the theme. I'll stick with my Aero Vista because Windows Blinds messes your comp up. Just google Msstyles and Windows blinds.

I, like my friend, am using XP. What I'm also is trying to figure out is a place to get themes and how to apply them.

Most of these "themes" are simply skins that use something like WindowBlinds or StyleXP, which suck up resources. Stay away from them.

There only option I'd recommend is to grab an XP theme that you can install.

Thanks captain cornflake. Those were some nice skins. I'm gonna see if they have more on that site.

Yes the Zune theme is nice. I used that link from cap'n awhile ago. I used it for about 3 weeks before I bought vista. I would use the Zune theme.
