KDE 4.0.0 has been released onto the world. "The KDE Community is thrilled to announce the immediate availability of KDE 4.0. This significant release marks both the end of the long and intensive development cycle leading up to KDE 4.0 and the beginning of the KDE 4 era." KDE 4.0 is the first release of "KDE 4", but take note that the developers have clearly stated that KDE 4.0 is not KDE 4, but more of a base release with all the underlying systems ready to go, but with still a lot of work to be done on the user-visible side. Download it from the KDE 4.0 info page. Update: Screenshots.

I didn't have to. I just copied a file and a directory into C:\Windows\Resources\
That's all there is to do.

No there isn't. If you have signed Microsoft themes then that's fine. If you want to download various cool themes you've found on the internet, unless you have a customised uxtheme install, you're out of luck.

So you are using a cracked version of Windows with an already patched theme DLL?

Well in that case the XP you use is an illegal version - you got the install.cd via P2P right?

EDIT: Of course, the 2 extra skins (Zune and Royal Noir) can be installed without extra work. But only because they are signed digitally by the Dark Lord.
