Personalise XP? That would take away M$ control over your computer. Ok, more seriuous. No, I don't think it is possible without hacking something.

I don't really know of any sites about it. There should be a way, but I can't think of one.

BTW, how well did patching the uxtheme.dll file work? I want to make XP look better (since I can't get my dad to put Ubuntu on this machine), but spending $20 to add themes seems a little bit much.

[edit] Yay, now I have patched my uxtheme.dll and came up with the attached screenshot. :)
