    Use the Uxtheme multipatcher found Here and find themes at Deviantart, easiest way to do it (and free), wouldn't recommend using styleXP because it does the same thing for a price, and stardock products are bloated garbage.
    This just replaces a system file in windows XP allowing you do use visual styles not signed by Microsoft using XP's regular theme engine without the need for any extra software.
    There are many good visual styles available, here's my desktop using one:
