To the person that said that skins ruin his apps: It is impossible for this to happen when using StyleXP. It is a Windows mssstyle.dll, and an app that was properly designed to use a Win9.x GUI or WinXP will WORK!
Chupacabra: I don't know if you noticed, but in some of the themes, the blue background(in your control panel right hand panel, or the "my computer" left hand panel) gets replaced with a white background. I figured out a way to fix that and get those default backgrounds back. here is a short description for Coughdrop Licorice(one of my favorites)
Go to the directory:
C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\Coughdrop\shell
there's a folder in there called "normalcolor". Right click on it, copy it, and past it right next to it.(it will say "copy of normalcolor") right click on it again, and rename it to "Licorice".
Now re-apply the color scheme coughdrop/Licorice and voila!
BTW: I do not work for TGTSoft or do i get any sort of benefits from their company or anyone else for tha matter.. ;-) unemployed student, just looking to procrastinate.(last final tomorrow)

I believe WMP 8 is only available with Windows XP. The skin came with a MacOSX theme. it is a separate small file. I can email it to you if you want, but I think it will only work with WMP 8.
