There are many alternatives however if you want something completely different there is desktop x or you can chose new taskbars with windowblinds

Re: customise taskbar
Be careful with freebies because from experience, these sorts of things come LOADED with spyware.

Window blinds is part of the same group as Desktop x. The latter is mainly for adding what they call widgets that come in various flavours such as weather reports, clocks, media players, etc.Imo mostly useless  I use window blinds myself and find it fine  Ive also used the skin maker to modify skins to my preference

Re: customise taskbar
You can create a bitmap image and use that as the new taskbar background......

I think that is the one! 
I don't have it on this pc and I can't get to my old pc atm to have a look.....
.....all I remember is that you had to create a .bmp strip of about 147x30ish and then save it to a file for inserting into the registry.......and when you used it the a/v would throw a fit!
