What program do you use for customizing the look of windows?

I really want a program that will allow me to customize the look of windows. I guess the two big programs for this are Style XP and WindowBlinds. I would even not mind paying for one if it worked well. I am pretty much ruling out Style XP because I (in the past) and my friends have had trouble with it making their systems unstable and being a pain to un-install completely. And just now I read some reviews from download.com and they said that Style XP 1.01 contains a ton of Trojans/spyware, ect. Even though it may be cleaned up now in version 3.0 I do not want to take the risk with that program by a company who has possibly packaged crap like that in the past. I would not mind giving WindowBlinds that a try; and I understand it is certified by Microsoft so it *should* be legit and less prone to messing up your system. Is anyone using it? Did/does it cause any problems with your system? I really want to have a nice windows theme but at the same time don’t want to mess up my system. Thanks for any input.
