Enhancing Your Desktop

I've been exploring some desktop appearance applications for a while now, and to much surprise none that i have come across really do the job properly.

I'm primarily looking for icon and theme mods for windows xp home.

Any help is appreciated!

Theres conversion apps out there like Fly-A-Kite OSX or Vista Inspirat, and i'm using the latter.

It comes with everything you need, and it transforms your whole computer.. not just desktop. Dialogs and stuff.

Really fascinating stuff.
