Looks pretty awesome. I've seen these XP skins before on another site, there's millions of em that look just as good if not better. Someone chime in, I know someone knows a site! But anwyays, thanks for sharin Asubimmer.

Then there's also WindowBlinds, which is a full program.

I was running WindowBlinds for a while, but I don't dig on skins very much. There's always something about every one of them I don't like, and they tend to eat up resources. WindowBlinds runs in the background pretty deep, but it's still an uneeded program running.

That is really cool. I switched to it and love it.

The problem with all the other themes or skins is you have to run a program to use them. This one is just a normal "Windows" theme that doesn't need any other program to work.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Same, just switched to it, also. I was already running the standard Royale theme (it's a Windows Media Center theme) which was SO much better looking than the standard Luna theme, so all I had to do was uninstall that one, install this one, and select "Noir". It's the same theme style as the standard Royale, just dark.

I have a Winamp skin that is a direct copy of Aero Glass, it's pretty badass.

I have no intentions of switching to Vista anytime soon. There's a very informative article in this month's issue of Maximum PC that is 10 very good reasons on why there's no immediate need to switch. I have never had a single problem with XP, and if it ain't broke, don't go installing a new Microsoft product on it. :up:
