you can actually download programs w/ skins. ex: windows blinds & stylexp you can find links to the downloads on google. They will change the stuff to there layouts. I think you can make sme with these programs as well.

It's not so hard with window blinds.
I think Adobe Bridge can customize the icons on your desktop, not sure. |

Windows Blinds and ThemeXP are two very good websites that offer system skins. :)

I used to do that... I used Windows Blinds... then I tried some Uxtheme.dll patch... it was more confusing than Windows Blinds. I'd use Windows Blinds because it's easier.

I used to have Fly-a-Kite 2. Which basically attacks the windows GUI and turns it Aqua. (no programs running just altering the original files) It is rather good at making XP look like a Mac if thats what your after, and since it does not run in the background like other programs (such as desktop X or windows blinds) you don't loose memory or performance.
