I have currently tried both StyleXP and Windows XP, both the major players and 2 choices of desire for Windows XP skinning. StyleXP i believe is the God Father of Windows XP skinning, it has fantastic visual styles, a massive, and i mean massive, skin/user database, and it's really easy to make off the wall impressive skins using Style Builder. Down points for StyleXP compared to WB 3.1a, Speed and graphical options. WB is certainly faster and seems to be more smooth, the graphical options/features of WB are equally impressive. Note: The latest versions of StyleXP such as 7.0 and 8.0 are a massive improvment in my opinion over the most commonly used alternitive, either StyleXP (beta3) the free version, and the Theme Patch. 8.0 offers a s*** load of features, and the Skins now load and run smoother and faster then before. WB can go along way, and i see it going head to head with StyleXP when the 3.2 version is fully released, the only problem with WB, which i hate, is the Skins! I've gone thru over 500+ skins on 4 different popular websites, and none are to my liking! Very poor, and badly made. For now, i am very impressed with StyleXP 8.0. I think i will be staying with that for a LONG LONG time, because at the moment, WB can not even question it's coolness of skins. I was planning on originally covering more of this topic, but i'm in a rush, i will cover more ground if asked later. Gimie
