Royale Noir: secret XP theme uncovered!

"sometime after the launch of XP, somewhere in Redmond, someone on the Microsoft design team was in the progress of developing something for Media Center. It was believed to be too powerful for public consumption and forever archived in the servers at 1 Microsoft Way. Now 3 years later, a young hobbit man by the name of W3bbo saw light of this unheard of theme, and traveled far and wide to uncover its mysteries. One theme to find. One theme to upload. One theme to rule them all."

ive downloaded and installed and works nice .. looks good too

thanks for the link, but compared to other 3rd party themes, this doesn't really apeal to me. looks a bit boring IMO

hardc0re_tid · 30 Oct 2006 at 09:23

looks a lot better than the blue tellytubby land IMHO, and even better than Olive Green and Sliver

will deffo be downloading this when i get home

thanks cozman!

well i cant take credit for the find .. just passing on some info posted elsewhere

on a further note .. now tried and tested in x64 and works .. had to rename file after pasting in as it auto named it luna .. but rename and working a treat in x64 too

not the best ever but its different .. and its working without further apps or hacks .. just paste in click and go

hope thats easy and working for all ..

Looks great - I was getting bored of the Blue and Silver varients so this'll do nicely!

Smit · 30 Oct 2006 at 16:52

Quite nice... have to tweak it slightly to get it the way I like it but still an improvement over the standard XP theme

bledd · 30 Oct 2006 at 17:26

luna royale is a nice alternative, a lot more polished than most

this should have stayed in with the os in my opinion!, or at least been included with mce

Deleted member 58846 · 30 Oct 2006 at 20:17

I have created a 3rd party download just incase. It is on my Zen server so no chance of it disappearing!

Very nice alternative!

theredguy · 30 Oct 2006 at 20:25
