i have tryed a number of theme altering programs for windows xp and windows blinds is by far the best. i got my download at http://www.download.com/3001-2326_4-10360613.html once u have downloaded and installed it there is an option to 'install skin from web' which takes u to a very large selection of skins that u can download, nearly all look awesome and r very easy 2 do so go for that 1
I would have to reccomend Litestep over any other shell replacement or WB ...especiall WB. You're askin for a large loss of computer memory using that garbage. Great Looks, Great Stability, even FREE UP more resources using Lite Step. Also has many themes and addon applications, totally customizable and been around for at least 5 years if not a little longer.
personally ive used alot of them and i found them to slow down my startup but only buy a bit and yes i do have a high end spec PC but now i use the Alienware theme it dont slow down my pc andit looks great you can find out more info onit here http://www.alienware.co.uk/Standalone_Pages/alienguise.aspx enjoy
doesnt alienware theme thing have its own standalone way of changing the looks of ur comp? so thats why its not slow like wb way?
ThemeXP is 1000x better... you have more choices to change your comp... You can change the boring black windows screen when your computer and the log off screen! and for the right amount of credits... ill pay for your activation! pm me if you are interested. http://www.themexp.org/
there are other stardock programs besides windowblinds that let you do that as well. change startup screen change login screen change icons change cursur and free at their website. http://www.stardock.com/
isnt themexp only a 30 day trial then u gotta get a code or something? well windowblinds is forever and u only have to pay if u want more skinning options, not like u need any
