http://www.deviantart.com is a fairly good site with good wallpapers, themes, etc.

However, why do you want 98 to look like XP ? It'll just take resources... the reasons ppl get XP over 98 aren't just the look :rolleyes: you should probably switch to XP, it's much better than 98 if you get all the updates :)

If u already got XP, use StyleXP...it uses half the resources that Windows Blinds uses, plus it puts all the new skins in the windows xp skin settings in display controls.. U can use some of the same theme from wb in stylexp and use less resource.. try it if ya get/got xp.

There's also a program called DesktopX that supposed to completely redo your desktop (it can ad more stuff to it) but this is a HUGE resource hog,,,stay away from desktop x unless u got some major physical ram. 500+
