Thanks to Big Boss, I have discovered the wonderful world of skins for XP! (Cheers Dave!) :D
You can get hundreds of Themes, Wallpaper, etc, for XP, free, from www.themexp.org (http://www.themexp.org), but check the 'How To Install' page as you have to download Style XP (http://www.tgtsoft.com/) (which is only a trial version), to get the skins to work.
As can be seen below, I have found a nice skin to compliment the Mozilla browser, but there's over 900 to choose from on the site.
Come on, folks, get skinnin'! ;D ;D

There's always one isn't there! ::) ;D
There are far more radical changes you can make, by using different skins, but I chose to keep things fairly recognisable. It's just a nicer colour scheme, in my opinion. I have to say I never liked the default 'Silver' XP Theme.

Just having another look at the site, here's an example of something more radical, not that it would be my taste! ;) ;D

You can still load the themes from the Themes tab in Desktop Properties, but I'm not sure what would happen without Style XP. Good job I won't have to find out! ;) :P

You can get Windows Blinds Michelle, I used to have that before I was computer enlightened and was too stupid to use it properly ;D
