Is it Possible to use the old Display control panel from XP?

I'd like to know, is it possible to use the old Display control panel, in its entirety, from XP?

I have enabled the somewhat buggy, but usable classic theme, but it breaks the Personalization control panel, so I can't change the desktop icons, wallpaper or screensaver.

Altenatively, can we somehow get the Windows 7 Personalization to work?

Thanks!

@Jody Thornton Thank you for that, but I think I've found a workaround!

It's called Personalization10 by WinAero:

It was meant for Windows 10 and it's user hostile settings app, but it seems to work quite well on my Highly modified Windows 8.1 install (as you can see, I have the classic theme fully enabled and configured to look like Windows 7's classic theme, but with full hardware acceleration!)

I shall still investigate your suggestion, however, as it would be nice to get the native Win8.1 version working, if that's possible.
