Default Windows skin

I've seen other computers that have a different theme or skin.
It still looks like XP but it makes the task bar shine and other things like that.
It's not the vista theme.
Does anybody know what I am talking about? If so could you show me where I get it off the Internet?

Are you talking about the theme used in the attached screenshot?

It's the Royale theme. Leaked from Microsoft before Media Center Edition was released but it's shipped with MCE.

You can get it from:
Download Royale Theme for WinXP - official - A new theme, potentially destined for Windows XP. Freeware - Softpedia

Does anyone know where I could download a skin that looks like vista for xp. I really like the look of vista, but I don't want to buy it.

Well, just because I haven't had experience with one piece of software, that doesn't make me an average user. I have xp, and I want it to look like vista. That's what I mean by vista skin.

Ain't no problems installing it at all.
Go here: CrystalXP

Edit: It will be in the language that you chose, and not what's shown on the screenshot.

Ya, I've tried VT6, but it cchanged my system files. I also noticed it wasn't much better than some skins I've seen. Also, on the skin that Zeph recommended, if you install it as the total option, it says it will make explorer windows transparent. Thanks for all your help.
