When I'm using Windows XP I use the default blue theme.
The blue theme is ok. I like the XPize theme better though, it looks more modern.

Why does it need to look modern? It's a computer, not an iPod.

Which theme do you use in Windows, XP or Classic? Which color scheme do you use? Why do you use the one you use?

Classic, less space taken up by the theme that way with a desktop colour of r=66, g=0, b=99.

Classic. Default color scheme. Because it's reasonably fast and stays out of my way. I used to use Watercolor, but got tired of patching uxthemes, so now i just don't bother. And yeah, way to go MS, requiring binary patched system files for 3rd-party themes. I could understand, maybe, if the system-supplied theme wasn't so gaudy and useless... but this just screams "we don't have a plan! or a clue! or a UI designer who doesn't spend his days watching Tellytubbies!" :^)

Watercolor Lite, with Silver color theme. Thats the one that was planned for XP before MS came up with the bulky blue/silver/greeney_weird XP theme. Looks more or less like the old style win98, but..better. IMO.

Classic, absolutely. The cutesy XP Fisher-Price interface is for toddlers.

Currently running Vista Aero which I like much better, but back in the day when I was on XP it was: http://www.themexp.org/preview.php?mid=377&name=OSXP+102+UPDATE.zip[^] :)
