not a compulsion. If have it will give excellent performance, otherwise you will see normal performance.

I wont recommend to use theme and styling softwares like windowblinds and stylexp. XP themes are availalbe as .msstyles files. Apply them directly. Third party theme softwares use up system resources.

There are many free themes available but they are not signed by MS. But, first you need to apply a patch. This patch is to let windows use unsigned themes also.

It is nothing illegal. Use this patch:

UXTheme Patcher (use unsigned themes in Windows XP and Server 2003):

Then download any theme: Here are a few

I have a good collection of XP - Themes. Will share later.

Or .. If you want to apply Visual styles just like of Vista - Follow this: http://www.indiabroadband.net/deskto...tml#post111953 (Whats The Best Theme you Used ?)
