Windows XP is not down for the count yet, and I still use XP on a daily basis with VM’s and with my Acer Netbook.  Speaking of Netbooks, since their popularity is really taking off I thought it would cool to feature some XP theme and WindowBlinds skins that really work well with the smaller screen on the Netbook. 

Many of us enjoy some of the wild and bold themes available, but in all reality, they are a bit difficult to work with on a Netbook, so these skins I have found to be more minimal and look great at the same time.

SouLuna

This skin by The Morphium has a basis in the Windows XP luna theme, so it’s good for people who don’t want to stray too far from the default look. 

Arzo

If you want to get a just a little bit more wild with a theme, then Arzo by JJ Ying might fit the bill.  Arzo makes great use of transparency that will surely make other jealous of your desktop.

Chocolate

This skin by patrick24 is a beautiful minimalist skin, that also includes a few substyles with different colors.

OpusOS

One of my all time favorites is OpusOS by b0se, ported to WindowBlinds by Snidely Whiplash.  This works perfectly on a small screen, and has a very clean design that is easy to work with.
