Windows Skins

[Conor]

Hello all,
I need a XP skin that is simple yet a lot better looking than the default windows theme. I don't need weather and everything else just a basic skin. I want direct links not links to general skinning websites. Thanks/

:gives:

I downloaded and installed the Media Center Edition theme and then scanned for adware and spyware, finding 0 infections of either.

It's a really cool theme, I like it much better than the default blue and the two others that are included. It also loads much faster than using a program to skin Windows like Window Blinds.

At one point I used Flyakite but I actually kinda got tired of it. It got old real fast. The only skin that has stayed is KoL's Vista skin for WindowBlinds. Microsoft had KoL delete it from everywhere, but luckily I got it before it was banned. Maybe I could send it to ya since it's so nice.

For skins I usually check http://winmatrix.com for skins or http://osx-e.com for OSX clones.
