Themes

Can people please recommend some good (preferably dark) themes that can be used with a patched uxtheme.dll so I don't have to download WB or anything.

+rep for suggestions

Microsoft Zune Theme

XP or Vista?

If XP; then if you want a vista-style dark theme, or the vista basic theme:

Or if you want another more XP-style theme, there's Zune for Windows XP:
