There are a few programs out there to change the icons like Microangelo, e-icons, icona packager etc...

I collect the icons from all over the place, these are all icons that feature 8 bit alpha blending and stuff so the shadows and transparency wouldn\'t work right in any other OS except XP.

I\'ll post a screenshot from my laptop when I have the time.

Heat, I suggest you try StyleXP instead of WindowBlinds for your system, while WB uses some of XP\'s built in skinning abilities it still runs on top of the os and slows it down, and most of the time the buttons look out of place from the background.

StyleXP cracks up XP\'s built in skinning abilities so it doesn\'t slow down the system. And the themes are "usually" much more complete than WB skins. (themes like Rhodium Edge and Sosumi for example).

:)

Anyhoo keep it coming people.
