Apart from Downloading DesktopX/Object Desktop(from stardock website) is digit providing these softwares on some previous CD's which I can look for? OR is Digit going to provide these in the near future?
I Really dig the desktop's which are showcased by Digit.
Can anyone help.
Thanks .

I have used Windows blinds, stardock and style Xp before but everytime after some days my computer used to end up in a mess.

These softwares look good but after some days u will get lots of errors. I donot recommend you to use it regularly

I had also installed StyleXP from the Digit CD but after few days when I uninstalled it the Microsoft Outlook Icon on the Desktop changed to Outlook Express Icon instead. Is this a known issue or not I don't know. And btw this software gives a good look but are not good to keep on your computer for long as they hog resources and have bugs.

You should be looking to enhance the performance of Windows XP rather than its looks.Anyway I suggest hacking the uxtheme.dll files and then appyling the visual styles as there is no chance of any third party utilities consuming your resources.
