Which is Better for Skinning...

[con_tester]

Whadda u think which one is better for WinXP Skinning...

Windows Blind....

Style XP...

Talisman Desktop...

Points to Notice...
* It should have a large selection of skins...
* No Compatibility problems with sp2
* What it can do other than skinning...
* It should take less resources...

Please Help Me...
Or is there any other software other than these..

i think you should go for windowblinds... it is better than styleXP in terms of how many elements you can actually skin... also it allows some changes in window behaviors.. but the last version used to take up lots of resources... its claimed that version 5 is much more efficient.. but havent tried it yet... also the new one allows you to have transparency on windows... so check it out.
talisman AFAIK is more than skinnin... it is a shell replacement...
none of these will have any conflict with SP2.

How good is avedesk?
I use Flyakite OS-X pack...does anyone know how to change the default drive icons in this?
Is avedesk a better choice?

even i am always in 2 minds about this qs.
:roll: both have their plus/minuses.

to change the default icons just relace the shell32.dll file.

u left out the uxtheme.dll patcher.Just a small patch and u can use all the StyleXP msstyle themes without buying StyleXP.

EDIT:WB5 is cool too.Transperencies are a beaut,and uses up less resources too.

ok....so i just have to patch the uxtheme.dll witht eh patcher and then i can directly use the themes using windows display properties?
