What about the types of software?

Skins, themes and suites are content. They are the stuff -- the artwork -- that is applied to change the system. But something has to change it. This article will talk about several different types including:
GUI Changers. These are programs that change the look & feel of the operating system's graphical user interface.
Desktop Extenders. These are programs that add bits and pieces to your existing desktop that let you customize how it looks and functions.
The Super Desktop Extenders. These are programs that totally remake the way your existing desktop looks and functions.
The Shell Replacements. These are programs that simply replace the entire Windows shell with their own.
Icons. Gotta talk about things that change, create, and enhance those pretty little pictures on your desktop.
Instant Messengers. Customizing and customizable instant messaging.
Media Players. Skinnable media players!
