With XP, you can only use skins officially ';signed'; by Microsoft.

This is the Windows Classic skins, Windows Xp blue, silver and green. And the media centre Edition skins, blue and 2 black variants.



But to use themes not made by MS, you have to patch the ';uxtheme.dll';. If you patch this file, you can use any theme you get from the net.



However, this can cause system instability. (It wrecked my system a few years ago.) So make sure you keep a backup of the original uxtheme.dll file.



You can patch the file by visiting either of these links:
