I've read the guide but am still blur blur in a few areas. The beginner's guide isn't really a beginner's guide as it doesn't really explain things, it's more like beginner's resources. No offense meant, I really appreciate all the links and advice, but just like to point it out.

Some questions:
1) Is it a bad idea to keep all these apps up while playing MMOs like GW or WoW? I only have 512mb ram.

2) After I patched with UXTheme, then what? I have to find .msstyle files to use? Where do put them or get them?

3) Which dock is recommended for those just starting out? Rk launcher looks like the free one.

4) Are StyleXP and visual style the same thing? I see references to both in a lot of threads yet have no idea which is what...

5) This theme: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/22178030/ how do I install it? There are Styler Toolbar, StyleXP Toolbar, VisualStyle and icon directories... where do each go and what do I need to support them?

Thanks, all help appreciated.
