I'm wondering which of teh two would be better to use. I'm running Windows XP, LogonStudo, and StyleXP. I'm just wondering which proggy uses less resources, what are teh pros and cons of each, and whatnot. I don't want to install something then find out it monkeys with stuff that shouldn't be monkeyed with. ie. if it affects other users on teh computer, i don't want it. any help in this matter would be much appreciated.

My opinion is use window blinds It uses less memory.Its easyer to use also and it monkeys less with your computer.I like them both, I use both.This is my opinion.

StyleXP 'monkeys' with your computer...it is an officially unendorsed/unsanctioned hack of a system dll which can hardly be seen as a 'clever' move if one is concerned about OS stability and 'monkeylessness' [new word]...

alright, i had no idea that Style XP was such a monkeyfrought proggy.

I think i'll use window blinds then if it affects more than teh desktop. Thank ye fer teh help.

Road_Kill...the 'rules' here are as with most responsible places, warez and/or cracks are not requested or condoned.
Considering that Wincustomize.com is paid-for by the Company who created 'Windowblinds' [Stardock], you can [or SHOULD] clearly understand our position.

Jafo.. I just wanted to point out that you said Road_kill.. Shouldn't it be Adam S???? Just wondering.

Weaksid...no, I have the correct person...I had already removed his [Road_Kill] comment from the thread....which does make post #5 look a little 'odd'...

I understand. i didn't think so. now, with windowblinds, if i set one theme while logged on as my user, will it be in effect when my brother logs ion under his? i'm just wondering cuz i tried Aston once and it did that, so i got rid of it pretty soon.

Sorry, my bad.. I didn't realize there was a comment deleted.

Weaksid....that's why we very rarely ever do it....and also why there isn't an 'edit post' function...

Adam, that sounds good.. My messageboard I have tells you when a message has been edited at least.

That does seem like a good idea, showing editing of messages i mean. After all, if a person looks at something they posted and realises it was edited or removed by an admin/mod, you can sometimes get to wondering just what it's all about. granted, if you write something ina post that doesn't seem likely to be considered "Genuine topic discussion material", then you must know why a post was removed, but it would also help to inform other users, such as Adam.
