Default How to change the colors for Windows Xp taskbar..etc.

Windows XP allows you to choose between the new "Windows XP style" (also known as "Luna"), and the Windows Classic style, but it doesn't allow you to configure your own styles easily. To choose a style, open Display Propertes in Control Panel, and choose the Appearance tab.

You can get themes for windows xp from:

www.themexp.org

they charge $10 USD a year

This site has free Windows xp themes

www.appleblossomart.com

Style XP allow's for Full Customization but it can be buggy sometimes and it is shareware.

You can also download Windowblinds From

www.stardock.com

It can be downloaded and used. However unless you purchase it there will be an annoynce screen on startup.

Yes, and it works fine after uninstall. Brings you back to XP's default GUI

Sort of , yes. The links posted above are to apps used to change windows themes ect. , and the page you posted offers themes to use with those apps. (and other apps aswell)

But it is a great site indeed , im using the WindowBlinds Copperdeck 2 theme atm from there.
