Wouldn't it be cool if Windows supported skins and modifications naturally?

Yes, very. But knowing MS, they would fail at creating such a program.

Yeah. WB sucks big time. Causes errors and never works 100%.
I have never had problems with it, but I can see why you wouldn't want to use it.

Or use Royale Noir like I am which needs nothing else but the theme file to work.

It whines and eats resources.

Surprise, surprise. Windows does have skinning built in. As I mentioned, use the uxtheme.dll patch by Radish, which enables skinning for non-official styles in Windows XP without a third-party application running constantly.

I had to make some of them myself, the icon pack came with a blank so you could bung in whatever icon u liked fairly quickly in Photoshop, I'll not be going back to the sprawling mess again lol.

Glad I could be of service mr pessimist. the icons look good.

Jackabo...mine goes into more detail and is better laid out, but apart from that I dont know why yours didnt get as much recognition.

His didn't have the stacklet included, which is what makes the toolbar genuinely useful (for me anyway).

Right click on the RocketDock basic icon, go to ICON SETTINGS, then find the icon you downloaded. Voila.

Just had to switch back to XP (different comp), so I've been trying to make it look the best possible... While I had already done this before I read this topic, I still think it's awesome you did this. And to whoever mentioned taht there is a Royale Noir: thank you!

Looks great, but I think I'll keep my Windows the way it is.

Which particular thing are you talking about?

The wallpapers just load an image within the browser, so it cant be them.

Icons - are you looking at the windows ones? They have been packaged in a zip for me?

See the icon in the upper left hand corner.  It says it's a "zip" file, but I can't unzip it and I don't know how to use it as a theme.  It's from this page
