What sort of effect does this have on resources? And does it uninstall without any problems? Cuz I'm extremely interested in this. 😀
 
Awesome, thanks! Normally I don't like using Windowblinds and StyleXP because they hog memory; this is a great alternative.
 
Actually there is one downside to this style. It doesn't integrate properly with Office 2003's "pretty menu effects," so it looks like you're running Office in Windows Classic mode or something.
 
Yup, looks nice......not worth the bother for me since my desktop is so cluttered I wouldn't be able to see it anyway.
 
I downloaded the theme, but the link for the wallpaper is broken now. Anybody who got this before that can host it somewhere we we can download it? 🙂

I 2nd that
 
How official is that theme? Do you have a link to the page where they give you the download link.

I have seen that background before and have had it on my desktop a while ago (well a very very similar one)....these backgrounds below are similar to the one above and they have been around for at least a year or so, one over 2 years...it was made in 2002 by some guy in these forums (unless he somehow got ahold of the pic from Microsoft that early, or Microsoft is using his image?)

It is also as far as I know perfectly legal. you can find out more at Belchfire the site has a boatload of free themes as well.

yea that's what I was wondering reading through this thread. Patch your uxtheme.dll and you can pretty much use any thing you want without installing anything.
