I know how, but it's never free. Some programs (like Window Blinds) work really well, but they cost money. Is there any FREE program that does the same thing? I haven't found any. Could someone please help?

What do you exactly mean by customized? It's kind of vague.

Falcon Punch is the result of the Sun heating fists. It drives the Blue Falcon. Heating causes destruction of water into the pain, where it then hurts, creating rain. Rain creates flowing water in tears, which can then be converted into other forms through more pain.

Stylexp is free, trough you don't need any program at all if you can find skin files and click them your desktop will be changed right away.
But if you really need one use http://www.tgtsoft.com/ it's a free trial and once you installed it add the theme and then uninstall it again, your desktop won't be changed back to default so you keep your customized theme
