How to Get New XP Themes





To change your XP theme, you’ll first need to install either StyleXP ($19.95 ) or UXTheme Multi-Patcher (free). These programs enable Windows XP to use themes other than those made by Microsoft. Microsoft only has a handfull of themes available, so yeah, go ahead and install UXTheme Multi-Patcher; it's safe and can be uninstalled if need be.

UXTheme Multi-Patcher is a small download which simply allows you to install downloaded XP themes. This patch is for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 only. Below is a link to custimize.org, which has a great tutorial on installing the patcher:
