making your own themes for win XP

I have been thinking about making my own personal theme for Windows XP. However, I am not sure where to look for info or where I need to start for that matter. I was wondering if any of you guys in lounge could point me in the right direction.
Thanks

MRM,

Great, but why didn't you move it somewhere appropriate?

Jacko,

I thought I posted the thread in the right place. Since it was not a direct iPod related issue, I thought it would be better if it did not go in an iPod specific forum.

At this time, this post is in "The Lounge" and I think it's got a good home here. It's not iPod related at all, as ToddW says.

All of those sites, btw, are great visual styles sites!

Yeah but is there any way we can do this without having to get StyleXP or some other pay program?

Possible but nowhere near practical or casual. If you want to make your own, goto TGTSoft's website and buy (whatever tool it is they have that make building styles easy).

What I mean is can we use the already made styles without having to use StyleXP?

I'm using Window Blinds the version that is free. There are a lot of neat skins out there for windows. Right now I've been learning Photoshop, I made my own Matrix Wallpaper and figured out how to do Brushed Metal. You can also hack some .dll file in the instructions on how to do that are in a post c.c.r. provided.
