Is there anything besides Window Blinds? :smile:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_shell_replacement gives a list of some GUI replacements for Windows (including XP); but be warned that most of them look very un-Windows-like.

Thanks a bunch.

Not sure if this is what you are looking for but you could always use unofficial visual styles as well, there are lots of different ones out there.

For example

Thanks again

I tend to get bored with how things look after awhile, so I'm always looking for new themes and the sort.

Do the trials expire or does it mean that it doesn't feature everything? Do they have annoying pop-ups?

it's better to go to neowin.net, download and apply the uxtheme.dll patcher
(go to the forum : http://neowin.net/forum/ )
StyleXP does the same thing but shareware and you have to run the app in the background.
then you can download what's called "Visual Styles", seek them on neowin.net or deviant art.
(Luna blue, gray and olive are visual styles. the dll is nerfed so it can only run those that's why you gotta patch it)

I for one prefer to use windows classic and tweak the color. (I've put the windows 95 color scheme for fun )

Guess you could make your desktop look like this

That'd be my suggestion also.
