Aston seems like a good alternative, or should you simply get Win Plus?

i'm using geOshell. unfortunately large portions of the site are currently unavailable, such as the forum, but there are some support pages out there (e.g. geOwiki).
geoshell settings are changed by altering values in the registry, which is easier than it sounds, but more and more plugins are supporting middle-click or shift-right-click menus for their settings.

Deviantart there are some shells and styles for WinDOZE(R)
No prog to install for most of them and it is really easy, you just have to put the files in the windows theme folder.....(those themes don't change icons unfortunately)
My desktop looks like that now :

I got the easyest way! Search for uxtheme.dll on google, it is really simple: you need a progam that recplaces the file with a hacked version, and vola: you got support for themes! No need for StyleXP etc. My favorite theme is iBar 6, it is a beaytiful blend of OS X and Windoze XP and is perfect for me as long as I don´t have the money to buy a Mac and the theme can be found on deviantart.com.

yeah theres loads around - i heard about one that actually used less memory than the Windows shell - so you can free up a bit of extra RAM all the time u r in windows by using it

better late than never.
if you turn it 90degrees clockwise, back to normal orientation, there's winamp in the top left corner, a quicklaunch (GeoFleximenu) and taskbar (GeoTasks) on the left side of the screen, and a systemtray (GeoTray) in the bottom left.
these are basically two GeoBars, with different plugins installed on each.
