I was using various themes while StyleXP was working.
The best place to get them for XP is at: http://www.themexp.org
Does anyone use the actual Microsoft Plus! thing for XP? Is it any different to styleXP?

First of all, i think we need to get things right, there's a huge difference between a theme and a visual style, a theme actually uses a visual style and just has a different wallpaper and icons for your my computer, my documents, etc... while a visual style is an entire different item, which is what XP uses to renders it's UI. As for Microsoft Plus!, it's one useless piece of software MS released, it consists of 3 ordinary games that are boring, and four different themes, and a CD Label maker, that's all it is, no big deal.
I personally don't use any themes, all i use is the default Visual Style and Icons, switching between the Luna (Blue) and Olive.
And just a note Style XP is just plain bloatware, the basic uxtheme.dll hack is clean and FREE

Winston: Who seriously gives a shit about the difference between these two again...?
For anyone interested though, theres another thread somewhere. (Search is broken btw)

what do you mean the visual style remained? as in you can still use custom visual styles? If that's the case did you reboot your PC? If you just uninstalled it and haven't rebooted you're still using your hacked uxtheme.dll, as soon as you reboot it restores it to default.
