Taskbars change and such, but skins for windows always remains the same Windows Classic-boxy thing. I use Windows XP Home Edition if that helps at all.

Oh yeah, and I've tried installing the .msstyle for these themes. When I click on the dropdown menu under Appearance>Windows and Buttons, all I see is Windows Classic listed.

Litestep is a shell replacement, not for skinning windows.

...as covered HERE in the general forum sticky...called Window Styles. I know it is a rough stretch but you could have also used the forum search as described all over the place and found the other 400 some odd threads on it.
