XPize is a GUI enhancer for Windows XP and above. It replaces most of the non-XP icons, avis and bmps that Microsoft has always overlooked. The installer simply automates the process of replacing resources in critical system files, making your XP's look better. It also includes some extras and a reloader, which you can use after visiting Windows Update.

    This new release is Absolutely perfect, makes your XP breath a new generation air.
    Doesn't cause any problems at all and you can customize absolutely every bit of the revamp.

    Galifray, learn to use it loser.

    For those who continue to use XP, and it seems many people do, this adds a nice set of eye-candy icons and the like to breathe some life in the aging aesthetics of the OS. I have tried this version on two PC's and have had, as yet, no problems.

    I tried the previous beta release (which was the final????) and I uninstalled it in about half an hour. Oh the icons are pretty enough, but it rewrote customized settings to its need. For example, I already had my own pdf icon, but XPize set it to a new one.
    Also, I didn't see an option to NOT install and use the task switcher that comes with XPIZE.
    It needs to leave MY settings alone or only be installed during a new install.

    Great program! Makes your Windows XP look much better (Note: if you're using Vista, try Vize from the same developers: http://fileforum.betanew...etail/Vize/1189698355/1)
    Check out the screenshots, they speak for themselves: http://www.xpize.net/screenshots.php
    Also, this is no longer a Beta, this is (finally!) Version 5 FINAL of XPize. Almost a year after the original developer quit the project and handed it over to a group of people (a big thank you to all of them!), XPize Version 5 is released :)

    XPize is good, works as advertised and is a huge improvement over the default icons in XP.

    However I prefer Tango Patcher
