That's just for wallpapers. I think he's looking for a more comprehensive theming. – Adrian Petrescu Dec 22 '09 at 4:32

Plus one for UxStyle. This is FAR AND AWAY the best "patching" solution out there for running unofficial themes, as it does NOT actually require PATCHING the system, and doesn't affect system files, and can be installed/uninstalled with a standard installer program. – eidylon Dec 22 '09 at 7:29

I would not recommend using any sort of patching to apply non-official themes, unless you really know what you're doing. Now that W7 has a halfway-decent theming system, it's not half as necessary. – RCIX Dec 22 '09 at 8:16
