FYI, you can patch the uxthemes.dll file in XP for free (I think TGTsoft used to have a patcher, but I'm not sure if it works with SP1 or not ... there are patchers that do), and bypass stylexp.

Some of the themes out there are great Check out my desktops @ messikan.com (also in my sig) I'm pretty happy with them

OK, I'll bite. How'd you do that? None of the other themes I've seen online look remotely like that.

Basically, its just the Quicklaunch bar that's been moved to the top. In winxp, you have to unlock the Taskbar first and have all windows minimized before dragging the QL bar. Set the icon size to large and there u go. As for the Winamp control and all the other fency things, check out True Launch Bar.

My desktop can be found here.

Thanks for the link and info. I like your desktop, nice and clean. I need to spend some time clean up those icons too.

Ooops, sort of forgot about this one

The bar is TrueLaunchBar, along with a stats app running under it. The stats app is called CureInfo, I believe, and it has ceased development, as it became Samuraize.
