As for me, I’m currently using the Shiki-Brave theme from the Shiki Colors theme pack. This is a screenshot I quickly took.

(I just switched to this after having used MurrineStormCloud for a while.)

Crap, why did you have to link to Gnome-Look? I can spend hours on that site..

I currently use Shiki-Colors – Gnome Wise as my theme. It’s an older version though so I might upgrade it now. I can’t remember the name of my theme on winXP right now.

@athelios77 – sorry ;-)

I’d love to see a screenshot of a customized winXP desktop :)

I’ll get some more recent ones later, but here are two old ones from beginning of last year.

They were a bit Vista-inspired…

Nice! Never knew you could do that :)

Well you have to hack or replace a dll-file, but once that is done then there’s a large number of themes out there. I think the file is themeui.dll but I’m not entirely sure right now.

Of course you could also just replace the shell (explorer.exe) with something else. I used bblean for a while which was nice. It is kind of like fluxbox.
