    well... im tired of having all the spyware from style xp added on to my computer just so i can install a theme. its a bunch of BS.

    Does anyone know of another program that does the same thing? I dont care if you have to 'buy' it. just want themes that dont include a s*** load of spyware to use a theme.

    Style XP blows. go with Windowblinds. Instead of going to themexp, go to wincustomize.com
