Then you'll have read that nothing is likely to be coming out prior to
the next major release of Windows (code-name Longhorn).

Skins work per-application. While Windows supports left-hand scrollbars

third-parties isn't tested properly (heck a lot of it is diabolical when
the settings are simply non-US!!) and crashes/misbehaves.
