I agree, Windowblinds is probably the best theme software available. Style XP is alright, but it doesn't have nearly as much flexibility.

Eh, I haven't really noticed a difference. You do have to pay attention to what themes you use, though. I've found several that slow things down a bit (Tiggz' themes look awesome, but they're hogs), but the majority of them make little impact at all.

I turn 'em off for gaming, anyway, I need all the help I can get.

Use at your own risk.........patching the UXtheme.dll file can get sketchy sometimes.
