I have been toiling over a hot computer for a little while, first with the Community Blog, then with changing all of how my windows looks and feels. I used a really nice program called Litestep. It makes normal windows look like

HAL logic command

-Or-

MAC OS X PANTHER!!!

There are alot of themes. Do a google search for them. Try it out. HAVE FUN!! The think youll most notice is there are not desktop icons, no taskbar, just a pretty nice theme(s). IT LOOKS NOTHING LIKE WINDOZ AT ALL(except it has the system tray icons). The dock was not with litestep. Right now ive forgotten what program it is.
