Customising Windows XP Taskbar?

Couldn't find a thread from before.
Do you know a fairly easy and free way of changing the colour and look of the Xp taskbar?

Cheers.:)

I know of two programs that allow you to change the opacity % of the taskbar/menu and another to change windows themes and a website where you can download them from?

Is that window blinds?

Check out this little paragraph from one of my old threads.

I personally use nothing other then any of the below, this comming from someone who used to spend hours a day on making his old xp look pretty

Download the 30 day trial version:

Search the 1000's of windows themes,log in screens,boot screens,icon packs etc at:

Or check out these AlienWare, 'Xp/Vista' compatible themes:

But its all pretty strait forward. And don't forget glass2k http://chime.tv/products/glass2k.shtml to set change your opacity levels in any window including taskbar and menu.

By the way, tuneup may look like just an optimization tool at first but it includes appearance tools to, which is what you're be using.
