    Wait. XP takes more resources to run? Sounds good, this conversion. x]

    One thing, though. This guy never mentioned how to remove all related files should the "modder" not like the changes.

    Ah, so it just adds the template to the list, it doesn't alter anything permanently? Excuse my nubliness. I never dabbled too much in this kind of thing. :x

    the only thing you actually "mod" is adding the registry value and swapping uxtheme.dll's

    the uxtheme.dll mod just allows it to install more themes

    Looks really nice, bro. Trying out BBClean, though. The promise of better performance is attractive.
