I use a strikingly similar one called Iceman's Jaguar Theme. You can google it. Comes with convenient installation instructions on how to hack XP's theme manager so you can use external themes.

Got a link or more info?
What part of "you can google it" did you miss? :p But since you're lazy...

Do you have 128 meg of memory or something? I can run themes just fine without any slowdown at all on my machine.

I was going to say the same thing. Some people don't know enough to turn off the effects that come with the theme and make it seem like it's running slower.

I agree. The only maching I turned the effects off on is a P3 450. At home its fully effected on my Celeron 1100A @ 1466. Runs the same either way.

I think it's actually called Hacked Milk. It's a modified version of Milk with the Windows flag instead of the Apple logo where the Start button normally is. I use it on all three of my machines and can't stand not using it.

I was at school when I made the reply so it wouldn't have done me much good to find the link then. ;)

Windows Classic, the only one that doesn't suck. I don't care what my computer looks like, only what it does.
