I've used the Zune theme for some time now. Click on the Screenshots link to see what borders you get. Zune theme for WinXP http://www.softpedia.com/get/Desktop-Enhancements/Themes/Microsoft-Zune-Theme.shtml Zune theme direct download http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=75078 Royale Noir Theme for WinXP http://www.softpedia.com/get/Desktop-Enhancements/Themes/Royale-Noir-Theme.shtml Royale Theme for WinXP http://www.softpedia.com/get/Desktop-Enhancements/Themes/Royale-Theme-for-WinXP.shtml From what I can gather there are programs available that will let you make custom themes. Since this isn't something I was ever interested in I never checked them out. For you I'd suggested running a Google search for XP themes and see what you come up with. Good luck Nepatsfan
