I'm surprised they didn't mention ObjectBar, which is preferable to using a DX-made bar (more flexible, IMO). I'm also surprised they didn't mention WebBlinds and Themebar, which are essential if you REALLY wanna go for the XP look.

Actually they preferred DesktopX.

I found out about this article on Customize.org.
