I've tried Windowsblinds but it's really resource hungry! And have you ever tried <a href="http://bb4win.sourceforge.net/bblean/" rel="nofollow">BBlean</a> ? Take a look at some of <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52356061@N00/" rel="nofollow">my desktops</a> - Except for one of them the rest are made using BBlean.

If you use a basic theme (UIS1+) without per-pixel alpha blending or transparency it's actually very light. I cant find the link now, but I remember seeing in a website that some Windowblinds themes were actually lighter than Msstyles. If you have a GPU then Windowblinds would definitely provide better performance as Windows XP (unlike Windows Vista) doesnt utilize the power of your GPU (video card). Mystyles platform was also made by Stardock, but it's not as advanced as WindowBlinds.

your desktop always amazes me

Thanks for the compliements.

WindowBlinds is good but eats up a lot of resources …
