I never approved it to be non-user-selectable in the first place.

No complaints from me, I like the first one best; a plain Windows 2000 copy 
was pretty boring. But yes, it should be user-selectable. How about a window 
manager as flexible as all the Unix ones (fvwm, kwin, etc)? Just make it easy 
for people that aren't going to tweak it so much! :)

[David Johnson]

I agree...

Hmm, maybe even something compatible with Windows XP themes would be good to
have, at least eventually.  Then existing ones that have been made could be
used.  Of course, that could be just part of some window manager, maybe.
