Free xp theme software for windows

Sentinel is a Windows XP visual style inspired by the Windows Media Player skin called The Sentinel, made by The Skins Factory.
There are two ways to run it:
1 - You can extract everything to a folder and go double-clicking all the .msstyle files and manually change color schemes and matching wallpapers or you can
2 - Extract all the .theme files and Sentinel_A and Sentinel_B folders to your %WINDIR%Resourcesthemes folder and select the color schemes from Display Properties, this way is quicker but it takes up a lot of space on your themes list and youll most probably loose your cursor and the default desktop icon settings
Here are the Commandments to obey when using Sentinel :
- Though shallt use ONLY Normal Size fonts.
- Though shallt NOT use large icons in the quick launch area.
- Use ClearType font smoothing, otherwise titlebar fonts look blocky.
- Disable the Address Toolbar from your taskbar cos it throws it off sync when youre using multiple-line taskbars.
- Disable the Language Bar from the taskbar.
The main visual style is just about complete, still need to do vertical taskbar, logonUI, cursors, shell32 animations and icons.
There are 14 color schemes most of them are based on a light color but a few, namely Black2, and Graphite are very dark, great at night but I dont recommend using them for too long...itll affect your mood.
Some of the color schemes from the MMD3 Winamp3 skin match some of these color schemes really well.
All the images have been optimized so dont worry about performance
