All four do change the general appearance of Windows XP including the background image which is showing an image of a Brazilian beach with additional information attached.

The color scheme for menus is changed as well using bright colors that remind me of sand and sun. I personally do not like the background images that much but the color scheme itself is very eye friendly. Several icons are exchanged as well. The My Computer icon for instance has been changed into a sunshade.

I personally would do a search on Flickr for Brazilian beaches and find a more suitable image for the background and leave all other settings as they are. This would also get rid of the big Microsoft logo in the lower right corner of the desktop.
