There are so many themes for Windows XP but for some reason finding the best ones is not very easy. The boring default Windows XP theme is just that…boring and no matter what if you want your Windows system to look good visually and aesthetically, getting a new theme is the best thing you should do after installing Windows XP.

Most of the visual styles made for XP do not resonate natively and thus picking the one which suits best to your eyes along with wallpaper is not that easy as it sounds. I did some spooking here and there in my hard disk where I had downloaded some of the Windows XP themes so that I can share the best of all with you.

Windows Royale is the only official theme for Windows XP other than the default one which comes preinstalled. This is also by fat the best theme because of its no nonsense design and visual style. The glossy blue adds some visual energy into the desktop.

Windows 7 theme transforms the visual style of your XP desktop into yet-to-launch Windows 7 Operating System. There are some other visual styles based on Windows 7 for XP as well but this one seems to be the the best of all. This one does have some bugs, but they won’t mind you a lot.

Royale Hybrid

If you are fond of Royale Theme then you’ll probably like this one too. Royale Hybrid has the same shine, color and glow as we see in Royale.

Windows Vista

There are like hundred of themes based on Windows Vista for XP but I like it slightly better than the others. The only reason why I prefer Windows Vista themes for XP is because of that round Orb of Wiondows logo for start menu.

Tener Visual Style

This theme is pretty fresh and somehow manage to stand out from other dark themes for Windows XP.

Concave

The difficult thing about a black theme is that the finer nuances of the theme goes un-noticed because of the color. Concave however is not like others which does manage to make you notice it. One of the best dark Windows XP theme ever.

Shiftie2

This theme comes in two color variants, black and vlue. I have chosen blue to take the screenshot. This theme in one way suggests that no matter what visual style you have used, it can never get noticed without a beautiful wallpaper.

Royal Red

Just another black theme which looks pretty fine with a red wallpaper.

Rosebud

This Windows XP is different from others in the whole feel and the visual style.

Plex Mas

This one is bonus XP theme for the Christmas season. You can see the snow on the top of window.
