I tend to customize as much as I can when I'm using windows. I just finished installing Vista, again >_< (needed a fully functioning NIC card), and I'm already tearing through deviantart.com looking at custom bootskins, logon skins, and various themes, wallpapers, and window designs.
Tune Up Utilities is what I tend to use to install everything, but it's only a trial version, sadly enough.
I'm sure something like windowblinds could work though.
Once I'm finished with the customization, I'll up some pics
