This program is awesome I use it along with the infamous UXtheme patcher version 4.0 HERE
I use windows student edition sp2 and UX Theme Patcher V.4.0 worked flawlessly! Just be sure to follow the directions and let it stand for 1 minute before you hit cancel! I was looking for a way to have the vista eyecandy with xp without any third party software. ROCKETDOCK is kinda an extra if you want a to clean up all the shortcuts off you desk top and turn them into a much neater organized way, you can tweak all options! LITESTEP or THE ASHTONSHELL are two other options that replace the whole shell in windows, so they are actually using even less resources! BLACKBOX is also worth mentioning, also a shell replacement mimicking Linux! If you want to go all out try adding TrueTransparency, add some cool packs from DEVIANT ART ! In 30 mins to an hour you will have your desktop PIMPED out in no time! Its a whole new world with all that bling and can be quite addictive! I use 1680 X 1050 by default on my 22″ Lcd and the true type fonts in largest mode looks FANTASTIC and dont forget about winamps opacity setting, some cool effects with the Vista AeroGlass themes! Check the other post on Crystal XP on this site also, goes in more detail! Have fun with you new windows makeover!
