Desktop Skinning?

Kiroshi · December 18th, 2004

I know alot of you guys use shell programs so which one do u prefer and why?

I dont want anything that will bog down my system. I have 1.5gigs of RAM but I use alot of resource sucking apps so I want something really lite if possible. I'm just so tired of XP's blue and silver

Try StyleXP
Really good, and there is an option for not taking up any resources.

The patched uxtheme.dll will allow you to change your theme to whatever you want, and it own't take up any resource.

I use Litestep. It replaces the standard explorer shell. I've been using it since Win98SE. There are others out there, and i've tried them all. Litestep is the only one I can keep stable. It completely changes Windows, to almost anything you want. You can download other "skins" or you can make your own, putting in whatever you want (provided there's a module for it).
