Mustard Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I was looking to get some new Windows XP themes since i'm stuck using the stock ones. I was looking for something along the lines of the things on the link below. Only problem is I don't want to pay for them. So if someone knows a website to find good themes and can tell me how to install them it would be greatly appreciated. http://www.appleblossomart.net/XPStyles/evoV3-XPStyles.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What isn't well known is that there are other signed Microsoft themes, such as: Royale Royale Noir Embedded Style Zune I have found that with the above, I did not require any custom themes for xp, and stopped hacking the uxtheme.dll file. You will have to google search for those themes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rggeeks Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Royale Theme is a new theme, potentially destined for Windows XP, that has leaked out of Microsoft and onto the web. The theme appears to have come out of a beta version of Media Center 2005 that was in testing. The theme is not a substantially different incarnation of the existing of Luna, the current default theme for Windows XP. You can see the main changes in the screenshots below; one could describe it as being a 'glass mod' of Luna. As Microsoft knows, it is very hard to please everyone when it comes to themes. However, I think they can be reasonably certain that most people will like this new version of Luna. Microsoft New Zealand is making available some free desktop backgrounds for use on your computer. Includes the New Zealand version of Bliss; the world-famous directional sign in Bluff; and the theme pack for Royale. Check back each month as we add more!
