I was wondering if anyone knew of places that allowed free download and use of new scheme colours for the Windows XP style "skin". I am aware that there are many programs that can be used to achieve this (WindowBlinds, StyleXP, etc.) but I'd rather leave the third-party software out of the equation. I've tried searching but results haven't been very hopeful, so if anyone knows where I can get more skin colours, without the need of a program, could you let me know? I'm getting tired of just "Olive Green", "Silver" and the default "Blue".
You will need to patch a Windows DLL to get new VS to work. http://themes.belchfire.net/index.php?showtopic=8767
