I always thought olive green looked the worst. Its fairly easy to match good backgrounds and icons to the silver and blue themes, but I've yet to find one that I though looked good and matched the olive theme.

I ran with StyleXP a while back, but I got tired of it sucking up RAM needlessly.

download hacked uxtheme.dll
lets you use unsigned theme from the display properties

Silver theme looks very good for a built in theme.

And this is important for all themes, silver included:

Start > Settings > Taskbar and Start Menu> Select "Auto-hide the taskbar".

Free screenspace, better looking, more useful.

I prefer not to hide it, and even double its size to double its usefulness.

Also, Windows Classic > *

This is the reason I use the OS X Tiger theme on my computer... the color scheme is much better than the detault Windows XP themes.

However, Royale is pretty damn nice, too.
