If you r using XP you can go to display properties then apperance and change colors and text.  Then add a background.

Be sure you are getting themes for windows xp ;) and either they self install or you put the files in the correct place it also helps to have plus for xp it adds a nice theme engine.

Vanilla... You can also try this site... http://www.wincustomize.com . That site will give you all the tools to make your own if you would like. To make something easy, just try one of the many "Suites". I would guess your new theme was a Suite.

http://www.themexp.com has TONS of skins for windows, but you have to install Style Xp to install them.

OR you could use a new "Uxtheme.dll" file so you don't have to buy that program after the free time you get to use it. You can find the file Here and how to install it (http://www.softpedia.com/get/Desktop-Enhancements/Themes/UXTheme-Patch-For-Windows-XP-SP2-Final.shtml).
