Style XP 2.0 is an application which uses Microsoft's built-in visual style engine to increase Window's visuals, giving you the capability to transform Windows from the somewhat limited Luna theme to something much more appealing. The latest version of TGT Soft's application includes support for boot screens, icon sets and numerous stability and performance enhancements.

Style XP is not a skinning engine. It uses Microsoft's built-in visual style engine, but enhances it by providing many useful tools. Style XP can import, select, rotate, and manage themes, visual styles, wallpapers, and logons. Future versions may support sounds, cursors, screensavers, and packages of all the above. How does it work? Instead of lines and gradients, the XP user interface natively supports the use of skinned bitmap controls (a visual style). This is Microsoft's own innovation. Style XP includes its own visual styles.

What's new?
Style XP 2.0 contains significant bug fixes on the Style XP 1.0 core. Now supported are boot screens, icon sets, and taskbar transparency. You are also given the opportunity to customise your icon sets. Several key enhancements have been made with regards to new operating systems and the forthcoming Windows XP Service Pack 2. The developers have also released two packs, dubbed Men and Ladies. They supposedly have "male" and "female" skins respectively. However you can download both packs if you want both sets of skins.

Features Zero-Footprint Operation: Choose to have Style XP run in the system tray for easy management and selection of new styles, or turn Style XP off while the system is still skinned. Native: Style XP skins use the same Visual Style Source that is built into XP. New resources: Try out our new "CoughDrop" visual style and color schemes. "Toothpaste" and a community skin pack are also included. Accessibility & High-Res Functionality: StyleBuilder is designed to build skins which support higher DPI resolutions so that window controls are easier to see. Application Compatibility: Our native design allows us to enjoy the thousands of hours of work put in by Microsoft's UI team. Font Sizes: Like the original Microsoft Blue, Olive Green, and Silver Visual Styles, StyleBuilder & Style XP skins support the three standard font sizes. Easy Installation: The new Style XP install takes minutes to download and seconds to install.
