Where can i get XP Themes?

Im new to XP Themes, fist off, whats the difference between a Visual Style, and a Theme?

Secondly, where can i get some good looking free ones? I already googled it, but couldnt find anything i wanted.

Links would be appreciated thanks

i guess, but that was using an un certified patch, im going to give StyleXP ago, i already backed up the dll files :)

http://www.themexp.org/

That should get you started, but, i'm glad you've backed up those files, i'm not sending you them again ;)

EDIT: DO NOT USE THAT SITE, Spyware galore, it used ot be good, until people allowed their stuff to be "wrapped"in ****...

Yeah thanks, i wondered why they were distributed as exe files, i like to get them in Zip format, so i can see whats in the archive first :)

I already know sites like www.wincustomiz.com - I just need some more, i mean, where do you get yours from?

So i noticed, as i mentioned somewhere before, for the price of XP, youd expect additional software to not be needed, like winamp should just download and load into the shell :mad:

Everything these days is about £$£$£$£$ :mad:

You've got a good point there, but then again you'd have the shell taking all your HDD up, lol

not really, if the skinning engine was made like winamp, it would be basically the same as switching from Windows Classic theme, to Windows XP, without software like StyleXP to make money from you

I go here http://themes.belchfire.net/ there program has no spyware from past experience.
