Anyways, to start off, I use themes myself. I use the visual style themes and I often get mine off of deviantART.
I would answer your poll, but there really isn't anything that fits me. I use to use them, but it hogs my resources way too much and it slows it down a lot if I'm running a lot of programs, so I don't bother with it anymore. If WindowsBlinds was able to just set it in the XP skins directory or however that works, I would use them all the time.
i used a cracked reg file for my theme. it works pretty good, it takes up no more resources than normal windows XP themes.
i use alot of the windows blind stuff but it does slow you down that lil bit more, wen i could be doing stuff... but yeah i use them all the time
Well, my comp doesnt suck and im not worried about "a lot of resources"(10mb of mem .0001% cpu usage) Yes, I use styles all the time.
just get the uxtheme file, and you wont have to use styleXP or WindowBlinds... doesn't take up shyt..
Understandable, but strangely, it doesnt slow mine down. Is there a reason why? [/b][/quote] White, the reason it doesn't use any resources is because you said you use visual styles(see your first post)... Visual Styles is misleading; the name Visual Styles leads us to believe that it is indeed a program, when infact it is a patch. WinBlinds, StyleXP, etc, etc. are third-party programs, so they use availible system resources. If you have limited system resources, even a little bit of resource hogging created by one of these unnessicary progs noticably slows me down. That being said, your poll shouldn't even include WinBlinds and Visual Styles in the same category, because infact they are two differen't species. Too answer your poll, no matter how invalid it is, yes I use themes and I use them frequently.

Thank you very much for teaching me that, that should be useful in the future
