    Maybe because there is precisely fuck all wrong with the default theme?

    You don't have to install anything! There is the old Windows default theme, and a silver variant of the XP theme already there after installing XP!

    Ok

    I have a theme I want to use, and I patched my computer so that it'll work.

    How do I use the theme.

    just double click on the Windows Style file and it should load, and put it in C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\ if you want it to show up in display properties.

    this man is the savior of the gui

    The silver variant of XP is almost as bad as the original. And it gets older much quicker.

    I had to resurrect this thread to pimp out my new clear menu bar, and sweet wallpaper courtesy of the wallpaper torrent.

    Clean:

    Dirty:
    Picture2-1.png
    Clearly, the menu bar has some kinks to work out, but the it is really just too sexy otherwise to matter.

    Wow, that wallpaper is hot. Would you mind linking me the original art? Preferably 1900x1280 but whatever works.

    I got it from the Wallpaper torrent that was floating around back in the thread. Download that to get many wallpapers like it, and many more not like it that are still awesome.

    But I'll post the image clean anyway:
    1177016205595.jpg

    The original resolutions for most of the wallpapers seem to be designed for 1028xwhatever, but they're still mostly good
