Desktop Themes

Hey guys im been looking to try to customize my desktop for awhile now, but the problem is which and how.

Desktop X? Windowsblinds?

which ones are better, and are there any guides out there to make a really nice desktop?

Im getting bored of the ol' XP theme :/

Google and use your head. The Neowin one will work then get regular StyleXP themes and put them in a specific folder in Windows directory then select them in desktop dislay properties.

This is much more efficient than using StyleXP itself because StyleXP applies the theme to the RAM while patching the uxtheme.dll allows you to use the style from disk.
