apply this theme then apply the silver defualt theme then post.

If anything it is closer to mercury.....after all royale pretty much looks like a blue mercury. In any case this is the silver version and it is slightly more glossy than royale. After you calculate the differences between blue luna and silver luna then try and merge them with royale with those differences this is pretty much what you get. And hopefully this will serve as a good subsitute for those that don't have Royale.

Also this is my 4th theme but it is the only one I released =) and the sole purpose of this theme was a silver royale and I believe that is what I've accomplished minice a bug or two which I will fix.

Yeah, I was just judging by the screenshot.

EDIT: Typo

yes yes, I opened it up in reshacker. You clearly imported Royale resources into luna. If the mods let this go then I apologize and I'll shut up.

BTW, I like it.

using any other start bar would break the gloss and like I have stated many times this is a silver version of the blue Royale specificly the blue colors and differences between default silver. Would you like me to show the original apple image and compare it to numerous aqua look alikes that use that same image? proves the samething(btw I really do have an Apple OS X sitting right here to the left...bah)

What really sickens me is people like Emily over at http://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?sear...nding&library=1 simply used windowblinds editing program and imported the Royale and exported it out with a single button and says she just based it on windows media player 10 o0......yea...right. And not of all of them but lots of the comments are saying she is awsome and got some talent when she did absolutely nothing o0.

My goal was to make a Silver version of Royale and I did simply that.

I downloaded and it did not work, Im sure I put it in the right folder C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes :o

I do not know why it would not work for you. At first I used microsofts regular zip compression but then I had to use winrar for the updated zip file because I needed the extra 4 kbs of compression to meet the 250kbs max attachment limit since my ftp was acting up(I know a few d/ls can't bring my bandwidth down cuz my host promised me unlimited bandwidth if such a thing existed).

What program are you using to open the file? And does anyone else have this same problem? You did drag the Imperial.theme file and Imperial folder right?

didn't he say he used default luna resources?

I did for the about 95%. I used silver luna as the base and I imprinted the gloss effect by using a gloss image from royale and made it b&w then by using many different layer effects and some pixels had to be added by hand and lots of rotating and erasing parts here and there.......

what was I supose to do use a different start button and break the glass gloss effect? If it is really an issue I could seriously just do the exact same thing I mentioned above by using a mercury theme for the start button 99.9% dead on with one less step which is making it b&w.

So we're cool with the whole Royale thing now?

well it would seem that way atm lol......

if I knew it was going to create that kind of fuss I would have just left the default silver start button there and be done with it sayin it is 100% free of royale resources......with the exception of about a *dozen that never changed* from the default resources lol.(guess I should take those out to =P remember it has to be free from all and any royale resources j/k)

lol I just read a thread about the black royale and it seems erp is now a big fan of the OldeCrow creator. The thread went into the issue of royale just like here but it wasn't erp that started it strangely enough considering I can just as easily prove some of his resources match regular royale. I haven't read the entire thing but it seems to be concluding since it is a recreation aka black there was nothing wrong with it as in my case =) aka silver. The thought of making it black did cross my mind before finding that thread but the thing is.....it has already been done many times over lol (mmx mercury)(there is light mercury aswell which may very will resemble mine -.-)

I just discovered my taskbar buttons are still incorrect, but I do know how to fix it and I will update it tomorrow with the fixed tabs. I found 2 issues

- My tabs slightly too small anywhere from 1 to 2 pixel oo I guess staying up til 4am doesn't help

- Also I added a small row of pixels next to the grey border causing my tabs to seem like the slightly left off the taskbar both issues will be fixed tomorrow

So you can recolor royale.Wow how original.

Lets hope your next theme is a heck of a lot better then this boring recolored royale/luna whatever you wanna call this thing.

o0 what do some of you people not understand I stated from the beginning of this thread that this was simply a silver conversion of royale nothing less and nothing more yet some of yall are presistent to restate the obvious.

btw Imperial is a synonym of royale(royal, actually there doesn't seem to be a true difinition for royal with an e) incase nobody noticed ;)

heh I think shawn was tryin to tell me this earlier....base my taskbar buttons on the taskbar.....bg. What I should have done from the beginning instead of basing it on how royale taskbar buttons were cuz I added an extra gradient to the taskbar background that royale does not have lol. Well back to the drawing board to fix this issue so the taskbar buttons blend in a whole lot better as soon as I get back from eatin out.

    • The government is not the good guy either. You propose 99% of people require that the government overreach and govern their freedom of information and privacy, while ignoring the government is made up 100% of people, of which 99% are (as you described) brain dead. You can't have both. The reality is Signal is absolutely right and the government is doing what it has always done. Ignoring that we are their boss and grabbing all the power they possibly can to make sure we aren't. Your (societies) ###### parenting is not reason enough as to why I can't have a safe platform for my data/information. Thinking the government is helping is precisely what they are targeting psychologically to take suckers like you for a ride. "Think of the children" was, has, is, and will always be a mechanism of control. In the rare occasion it's actually essential the mass consensus has always been there and it doesn't become a debate.

    • Apple would rather delay Siri AI than open iOS to rival assistants in the EU by Pradeep Viswanathan At WWDC 2026, Apple today announced a revamped Siri AI experience for iOS and iPadOS users. However, this new Siri AI experience will not be available on iPhones and iPads in the European Union when iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 launch later this year. In a detailed press release, Apple blamed the Siri delay on the EU’s Digital Markets Act, highlighting that EU regulators did not accept its proposed solutions for bringing Siri AI to the region. Consequently, there is currently no timeline for Siri AI’s availability on iOS and iPadOS in the EU. Here is what EU users will be missing due to this delay: Siri AI, Apple’s next-generation assistant powered by Apple Intelligence A new dedicated Siri app for revisiting conversations Expanded Visual Intelligence features Integrated AI-assisted writing tools Siri mode in Camera on iOS Other system-level AI features Since the new Siri experience on watchOS 27 is dependent on an iOS 27 device, EU users will also miss out on Siri AI on watchOS 27. The most frustrating part is that even developers based in the EU will not be able to test or use the new Siri AI features for their apps on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and watchOS 27. In its press release, Apple mentioned that making Siri AI available in the EU would require the company to give other AI assistants (like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini) broad access to private user data and the ability to control installed apps. Essentially, the EU wants competing AI systems to be able to read and send messages, make purchases, access files, and perform actions across apps. To address these concerns, Apple proposed an intermediary system called Trusted System Agent. This system would have allowed other virtual assistants to access the same features as Siri AI in a safer way. However, the European Commission rejected Apple's proposals, and it is currently unclear why. The good news is that Apple stated it will continue working with EU regulators to bring Siri AI to the region. For now, however, iPhone and iPad users in the EU will have to wait. If platform gatekeepers such as Apple and Google reserve deep operating system capabilities only for their own AI assistants, rival services such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and others will be at a major disadvantage. Modern AI assistants are no longer simple chatbots. They require access to core OS-level capabilities such as reading on-screen context, interacting with installed apps, sending messages, creating calendar events, managing files, and completing user-approved actions across the device. If only Siri on iOS or Gemini on Android can access these capabilities, competing AI services will struggle to offer the same level of convenience, even if their underlying models are better. This is exactly what the European Union's DMA is trying to address. Apple and Google should be allowed to protect user privacy and security, but they should not be permitted to use those concerns as a blanket excuse to block rival AI assistants from getting fair access to core platform features. A secure permission-based framework could allow users to choose their preferred AI assistant without giving any company unrestricted access to personal data.
