Here is a new theme for Windows XP and 2003 users. Its called "Embedded" theme. Its an official Microsoft theme so you'll not need to patch anything. You can apply it without any problem.

This theme has been taken from "Windows Embedded Standard CTP Refresh" and works perfectly in Windows XP and 2003.
Download following ZIP file, extract it and run the .EXE file. After that you can apply the theme from Desktop Properties. A sweet wallpaper is also included in the pack.

Hi. really nice theme, although the nice icons under my computer (shell icons) i cant find. Have tried to restart PC to see if that was the issue, could you please advise here.
VG
^^ Those icons are not included in the theme. Those icons are a part of "VistaVG Icon Pack" which you can find in Windows XP Themes section.

Thanks alot, just downloaded that iconpackager program, does it matter that its only the trial basis when i install your icon pack ? also what happens when that trial period runs out.... will it swap back to default icon pack you know ?
VG
^^ The icons should be there after trial period is over.
