Better Faster PC

Windows XP has proved to be the most successful release of Windows ever but one thing that most poeple always complained about was the lack of themes supplied by Microsoft, Vista and Windows 7 did not suffer this fate but for some peculiar reason Windows XP was never well supported in terms of themes from Microsoft.
So, today I am going to give you a list of some options you might not have checked out before. These are all completely free.

The Official Microsoft Themes for XP

• Royale Theme - Nice Blue Theme - Get it HERE
• Royale Noir Theme - Nice Dark Theme - Get it HERE
• Zune Theme - Another Dark Theme with a bit of Orange - Get it HERE
• Embedded Theme - Another Nice Blue Theme - Get it HERE

Some Alternative Themes for XP

 These themes are something a bit different and not offiicially from Microsoft - they do offer additional benefits from the official theme and more visual eye candy.

• deviantART is a great resource for XP Themes and you can get some amazing themes from HERE
• Just Skins has a nice list of the their Top 10 Themes for Windows XP - Get it HERE
• There is also a list of themes to make XP look like Windows 7 - Get it HERE

To install non-official themes (ie - Themes not from Microsoft) on Windows XP then you will need to use UXTheme Multi-Patcher which allows you to install any theme not created by Microsoft. You can get it from Softpedia right HERE.
