First time tweaking my desktop with skins.

[alkemyst]

I got a newsfeed about Microsoft's Royale Noir Remixed theme (Royale is the skin on Media Center, Noir is one that's black...there is also a Zune theme with orange highlights).

I liked Royale Noir, but I wanted something more compact...I found Luna Elements 5 fit that bill. I didn't want something that majorly altered windows look and feel because of experiences I had with software I run that wigs out when default window's behavior had changed.

I also downloaded OddBasket's Vista Pack for vista sounds and pointers on XP, as well as the normal and WS wallpapers.

The nice thing is there is no addtional overhead as the dll hack makes XP run the theme without third party software.

Some links:
Vista Pack

Royale Remixed

Luna Element 5

UXTheme Multi Patcher

7 zip for rar packages

The pointers and sounds are the biggest improvement.
