I've noticed a lot of people here use Software for Windows that allows you to customize your OS Theme. However, I was wondering which one you use, or have used, and which one you think is best?

I used to use StarDock for themes/skins, and I currently use ObjeckDock for a mac-like dock which displays links to programs.

What about you?

I use StarDock, it's pretty good when there's a good skin.

Use StylesXP. It does NOT slow down your computer at all. Or just get the msstyle and use that a the theme.

check deviantart for skins and themes, they have some nice ones as well. Not as good as StarDock, or anything like that, but good ones. Most of 'em is free to.
