I like it a lot, provides a lot of cool features and customizability to windows. I've got mine set to a mac setup cuz I like the mac's GUI a bit better than windows, nicer on the eyes.
Anyone else use this program? Like/dislike? Favorite styles? Discuss!

Did you seriously spend money on that??

IIRC, StyleXP does the same thing as the uxtheme.dll patchers, only you have to pay for it.
Haha.

Style XP always gave me probs, i had another one also started with an "S", but for the life of me i cant remember wtf it was called.....it was free too.
-
My friend used something similar called Windows Blinds (I think), but it always seemed to give him problems.
Im running XP and with the classic theme
-
Winblinds

I use gnome... i can have any number of themes, window types, icons, widgets.. and its all free. My last set up was a mac theme, im currently using a variation of the Glider theme, with TuxnTosh icons, and Blue curve widgets.
*yeah, i know this doesnt relate to winxp themes. meh. :p

And no, I didn't spend money on it. The "demo" they have for download basically is just as good as the real thing.
-
Umm... but it's a trial, so I assume you can't use it after 30 days or something.
-
Nope, I've been using it for a few months with no problems. Hmm....wait, I just recently reinstalled it though. Quite possibly the timer gets reset every time you install it. Not 100% sure on that.

Here's my current theme with StyleXP. Customized icons and windows, etc...

not too bad but not my style.
-
Especially if you formatted, the timer would be reset. And maybe you got a version of it before it went to a paid version?

Ew. I used to try to make my computers look like OSX before I got a mac; Now I know why drak always used to mock me. That looks terrible :( Especially the pinstripes ::shudder::
Do yourself a favor and get the OpusOS theme. It should work with StyleXP: http://www.deviantart.com/view/4591314/
I like the blue w/ compact start menu, but that's just me. I find that generally I get sick of theming my computer after a while, but I've been using OpusOS for well over a year, and I still love it. You hardly notice that it's there; it looks great. Plus, everybody who's ever used my computer always asks how to "make [their] computer do that" :lick:

I use windowblinds because a few of my customers wanted cool themes and I didn't feel like updating uxtheme every time a new service pack came out...so i bought a bunch of licenses so I've got one that I use...I'll post a pic of my theme when I get home today.
