:)  I agree.  Since XP came out, I've tendedto disable the theme stuff in
Windows.  I usually go into the Services configuration and disable the "Themes"
service so that Ican't even use the special themes - That probably saves some
RAM and CPU cycles.  I'm using Windows 7 now and still disable that stuff - I
think the Aero styling in Windows Vista/7 is even more intense than XP's
themes.  I had actually started to considerusing XP's themes before I upgraded
my Windows.  Now I think it might be useful to have XP's themes in Windows 7 as
an alternative to Aero.  :)  Operating systems are starting to feel like cars,
in that for some years I'll like the look of a car but mightnot in newer model
years. :)
