XP Themes

Does anyone know of a decent site to download XP themes without the adware wrapper the above site uses?

That is MSFT's Zune theme. You need SP2, and it gives you a bad background you can change. I run it on both machines.

I've read varying reviews of black themes like Royale Noir(?) and Zune, but none are really in tune with what you'd expect a TP theme to be. I wish we had one that was really TP branded.

I agree that would be awesome. Maybe someone with a talent for themeing will take this on :).

Mocom has been bookmarked on the last three PCs I've owned. ;)

The thing about the "themes" they have is that they really aren't themes in the XP sense, like the Zune or Royale Noir one. Also, the link to the blue mobile one redirects to the first choice (old multicolor line design).

I will be using that world clock desktop though. That's just too "ThinkPad" not to use, no matter what Lenovo thinks. ;)

I just wish we have a true TP XP (and Vista!) theme. :(
