Style xp runs an unnecessary service. If you use a light windowblinds theme the resource usage will be same or lower. Remember that msstyles runs a service in the background that uses up memory. Also, other functionalities provided by stylexp are surpassed by stardock products. Bootskin is the best software for chanding bootskins. Also it's skins are much smaller than stylexp's bootskins.

But i prefer the old 'Windows Classic' theme. Saves me on resources. And mostly, I never liked most of the Stardock products. They are nothing but bloatwares... StyleXP handles resources much better. Anyways, the effects in Stardock's products are something, nobody can rival. Add it up with a few Konfab widgets, an object bar skin and you have a killer desktop with you... But just beware, that you need loads of processing power on yer' hand... ;) Rohan Hmm.. But i prefer the old ‘Windows Classic’ theme. Saves me on resources.
