best desktop theme

hi after researching the forums i went and downloaded aston desktop, www.astonshell.com

but for some reason it slows down games, windows media player etc. when i go back to normal desktop its fine.

can anybody recommend any others along this line? i really like aston,

i use samurise aswell but its not exactly the same sort of program.

hacked neowin uxtheme.dll:devilish: then just get some themes/skins and put them in your themes folder in windows...and load them from apperances tab.

or style xp, does the same thing as above, easy to use, just replaes the windows gui and uses next to no resources if you tell it to i the options :)
