Just my $.02, but I always thought that these "desktop modding applications" use up large amounts of RAM, rendering RAM intensive applications slow and/or unstable. If the look of XP bothers you enough, why not try Linux or some other OS?

That's true. The Themes service of Windows XP is the single most demanding function in the process list as far as memory (especially if you have more "flash"), plus any third-party tweaker runs from it.

I'm pretty minimalist about all that stuff on my computer. Themes is disabled and the only stuff I have for presentation is the mouse shadow and font smoothing. And I don't need to be squeamish having 2 GB of RAM, but I'm more performance-oriented.

I got the WoW theme from worldofwarcraft.com, and I must say, it is a must have for the avid WoW enthusiast!
