Yes there are many, but you will have to use Windows "Classic" scheme, not Windows "XP" theme. Go to Control Panel > Display > Appearance > Windows and Buttons > Windows Classic style > Color Scheme > OK\n\nHave fun and good luck.

To install a theme, copy the sz file into the Winamp skin directory (at C:/Program Files/Winamp/Skins/). Then open Winamp, and click options, and point to skins. However, it may be much easier to simply click "open" instead of download or save when asked in the web browser when clicking on a winamp skin file.

Double click the My Computer icon on your desktop and select Control Panel. Then select Appearance and Themes. This should open a small window with tabs across the top. Select Display and in the Colour box, choose the highest setting from the dropdown. That should do it unless you have a really old machine or monitor or an ancient version of Windows. If you're really stuck, press F1 button on keyboard for the Help menu.

You've to download startup themes for windows and when you'll go to download themes then remember 1 thing very much download themes from a authorised website because into the themes you can download the boot sector viruses. So my well suggestion is remove the idea of changing startup theme from your mind. And after that if u want change it then go to http://www.microsoft.com/windows if u r using a genuine copy of microsoft windows then u'll get many themes and many fine content for your windows. I hope you'll satisfied with my answer.
