Q: Hi, Community, and noticed I tested a Zune Desktop Theme for WinXP, and its pretty nice. The download was small, no spyware / ads, and the installation was easy.
Can you recommend some neat themes for easy clean WinXP?
Thanks:)

I liked the Zune theme, but I didn't like the bright orange start button. So I modified it to match the color of the part of the taskbar all the way to the right.
Just install the uxtheme.dll patch and replace the zune.msstyles in C:/Windows/Resources/Themes/Zune with this one (http://38.101.8.67/dl/23d769f07949085c494abee423c7bd9f/45510ff0/other/zune.msstyles).

Re:I tried a few 3rd party visual styles years ago but they always seemed to alter the text and make it harder to read. Have they improved since then?

Make sure you have the uxtheme.dll hack as mentioned above.

Re:there are themes on deviantart, but you will have to use the uxtheme.dll patch to use them. No great ones come to mind, but it's a place to look.
Re:The XP Plus pack comes with some more themes but you will pay for it. There are some free programs out there but it's been a while since I used them. Windowblinds comes to mind.
