Since you have an 030 the best thing you can put for nice themes is VisualPrefs plus Birdie along with some themes you can find in Aminet.
Rebel has made some nice skins based on his marvelous 16 colors palette that use VisualPrefs+Birdie which looks something like this:



With a little search you can find where to download it here in a.org.

Now that I have a nice mediator with a voodoo 3 inside are there any full themes I can use to give OS 3.9 a more modern look?

+1 for VisualPrefs. Skip Birdie unless you're running greater than 16 color screen. Although I'm guessing you willl be, LOL. ;)

Also don't forget the Peter K icon library!

afa os has some aros skins. however i do consider almost everything i have seen here and there not particularly elegant. amiga themes are usually rather amateurish and overloaded, with perhaps a few exceptions.

I have an OS4 based theme using Visual Prefs and some pretty icons, it only took me a couple of hours of pure pain to get this nice result.
