For those of you who have decided to stick with Windows XP, but want a different look give the Zune Theme a try. It’s a little darker but not so dark. Unlike some of the other themes I’ve tried this one is very polished and doesn’t include any annoying bugs. I replace the default desktop it comes with but leave everything else as is.
I installed it about five months ago and really like it. It was created by Microsoft so it’s easy to install and doesn’t require any third party software.
You can download it directly from Microsoft here.
