I need something like this for XP. I have that wallpaper right now but all I can set with it is that silly 'silver' setting which is pointless since the START button is still Green

There are a lot of visual styles which can be downloaded on deviantArt for changing xp's ugly default theme
All you have to do is to go to cathegory: Customization/Skins & Themes/Windows utilities/Visual styles... and seach the visual style you like
Here's a little "How to" for applying a custom visual style: [link]
Please note that the patch you have to download indicated on this webpage is for the version with service pack 2 installed!
Here are two pages in case of Service pack 3 version: [link] and [link]
I hope it'll help you to make the desktop of your dreams
If you need more help, tips or suggestions, just ask! (I've indicated in the description of this screenshot everything I used for making my desktop)

I probably could. The package is obviously not that big. I'll check with my box/postal lady to see how much shipping would be and get back to you.
Your English isn't that bad

Thx!
I wouldn't buy something which would cost you more than I had paid.
Lol writing in English is easier 'cause I don't have the (little) french accent.
