Made using Object Dock Plus, AveDesk 1.1, CursorXP, Raincalender, UXTheme, TigerVS XP Theme, Lucida Grande font, Tiger Winamp Skin, and a whole load of PNG icons from various sources.

Idea for this theme was to eliminate the windows start bar totally, have my most used areas accessible via the desktop, and have the programs I use regularly instantly accessible via the auto-hiding Object Dock docks. Top left weather indicator overlaps the desktop utilities when visible as it's only used every so often.

Screens of other aspects of the theme:

OK, for those nice people who like my theme, I've put together a list of stuff for those that want something similar:

UXTheme to allow changing of Windows theme - http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=140707

AveDesk 1.1 inc. those tasty icons - http://www.advancedpc.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=1514

Rainlender Skinnable Desktop Calender - http://www.ipi.fi/~rainy/index.php?pn=projects&project=rainlendar

Object Dock to create the bars with icons around the screen - http://www.stardock.com/products/objectdock/ (The free version is fine as I don't use tabs)

CursorXP for fancy cursors - http://www.cursorxp.com/

Tiger Windows Theme and Winamp Theme - http://www.studiotwentyeight.com

Downloadables - Stuff I've uploaded for you folks :)

My Object Dock Theme - This is the easy way out as it's already done for you :) You'd probably have to repoint the shortcuts though.

My CursorXP Theme - Tasty rotating one this.

Rainlender Theme - Simple, yet elegant.

PNG Files - These are all the icons I have used in my Object Dock theme, plus a few variations that are quite nice too. If I were to upload my entire PNG selection it'd be a couple hundred MB, so I picked out just the ones I used as they were requested.

Tiger Bars - The Object Dock background bars used on the top and bottom.

Lucinda Grande Font - Slap in your Windows font folder.

I think that's it, so enjoy :)
 
Ol!ver - All docks are auto hidden. One is top left, one is top middle, one is bottom left, one is bottom middle, and the final one is bottom right.

To find out if they were there, you could enter the properties of the dock and untick autohide. I have no experience of transferring themes across computers, but it apparently works :)

Streetsoldier - I don't know about Win2K. Sorry :(

EDIT: I got most my PNGs from www.deviantart.com
