New Windows XP Theme (Energy Blue) Available...

  • Artikel

It's a slightly strange way to release it, admittedly, but if you're bored with the standard blue, silver and green variants of the Luna theme that ships with Windows XP, you can now download the Royale / Energy Blue theme. This theme originally shipped with Windows XP Media Center Edition, but Microsoft New Zealand have now released it in a form that can be installed on Windows XP Professional and (I assume) Windows XP Home Edition. It's the best dressed you've seen Windows XP - it looks like a more professional version of Luna Blue, with more subtle hues. It also confuses the Office 2003 theming system sufficiently that it doesn't attempt to impose its own somewhat garish (to my taste) color scheme.

Thanks to Jeff Sandquist for the link.

    It only took them nearly 5 years, but there is a new Visual Style available for Windows XP - Royale (via Tim Sneath). Granted, it was originally released with Windows XP Media Center Edition, but this is one of the...

    tzagotta, when you validate that your copy of Windows is genuine, it appears on the list of downloads as royale.zip. Hope this works out for you.

    Hey, that was nice. Thanks :-)

    BTW, you've got to put in under c:windows... for it to show in the drop down. And if you put it elsewhere, while you can browse to it, the wallpaper won't show automatically. That's because the theme file defines the wallpaper location as :- Wallpaper=%WinDir%WebWallpaperNew Bliss.jpg.

    It works even if you choose not to validate.

    I was confused at first, but its just because it looks like a list of .jpg files. If you look closely, Royale is the only one which is .zip.

    By the way...remember that the other name for the Energy Blue theme is "Royale". Keep that in mind when searching for the link.

    Royale.zip is not in the list of downloads...I'm serious, I read it over like 5 times, even used the Edit>Find function for "Royale" and the highlighted things were not links...just the instructions on how to install the non-existent royale theme...? I also searched for "zip" and again none of the highlighted things was a link. Perhaps Microsoft realized - Oops this thing is supposed to only be for Media Center users - and erased the link but left the instructions on how to use it...grrr...not even a couple months later, I can't download it...

    Wow! New theme! I am going to try it out. T_T I accidently deleted Original Luna theme. Because I thought it's not Window XP theme and I wanted to make some spaces. Now it's gone... Can anyone post me a link to get it back?
