5. Create directory \WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\Royale

6. Put royale.msstyles in \WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\Royale

7. Create directory \WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\Royale\Shell

8. Create directory \WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\Royale\Shell\NormalColor

9. Put shellstyle.dll in \WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\Royale\Shell\NormalColor

10. Create directory \WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\Royale\Shell\Metallic

11. Put shellstyle.dll in \WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\Royale\Shell\Metallic

12. Create directory \WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\Royale\Shell\Homestead

13. Put shellstyle.dll in \WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\Royale\Shell\Homestead

14. Create directory \WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\Royale\Wallpaper

15. Put Energy Bliss.jpg in \WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\Royale\Wallpaper

16. Remove Energy Blue 7-zip folder

17. Extract leaked Royale with 7-zip

18. Create directory \WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\Royale\Shell\Royale

19. Put shellstyle.dll in \WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\Royale\Shell\Royale

20. Remove leaked Royale 7-zip folder

22. Select substyle "Royale" from style "Windows XP style"

You might be asking about step 21. This is because Energy Blue is designed to replace Luna. If you switch substyles from Royale to one of the three other colors, you'll get the original Luna theme.

How can I delete the the Luna theme?? I tried but I can't. It says it's in use... :\

:angry:  ok, and why does this look exactly the same as the original royale?....here i was expecting something different, maybe a color variation or something, but no.  same boring colors...i think i'll stick to royalemod if i want a royale theme...

Yeah, but you get:

a) Luna integration. Energy Blue is designed to replace Luna. i.e. If you remove Luna and install Energy Blue (see my instructions), you select "Windows XP style". You have 4 color choices: Blue, Silver, Green, or Royale. The first 3 are same old Luna. The 4th is Royale.

b) The Energy Bliss wallpaper. It pwns.

Here's a download for XP users a some intructions.

1. Switch to Windows Classic first (very important)

2. Run "Royale.exe", click Install

That's it, this will overwrite Luna.msstyles, the advantage of this being you only have 1 "Windows XP Style" in your themes drop down and the fact that's it's called "Luna.msstyles" means Office 2003 uses the special colour schemes for Blue, Silver and Olive. This includes the wallpaper which gets put in Luna\Wallpaper\energybliss.jpg, the .theme file is also included which is available in the themes tab.

Download Royale for Windows XP Installer

I already posted this as a comment in the news section but I figured I'd post it here as well. All of these other workarounds are totally unnecessary! All you need to do is have WinRAR (or WinZip will probably do the same thing). When you right-click the .exe file you download FROM MICROSOFT, you can just select "extract here as..." and it creates an archive with whatever name. Then you right-click that archive and select "extract to..." and select C:\Windows\Resources\Themes". THAT'S IT. It doesn't replace the old Luna files, it makes its own folder called "royaltheme".

Now, when you do exactly what I just said, you have the original Luna theme as the "Windows XP" theme, and the NEW one is called "Energy Blue" in Themes. When you go to the Appearance tab (and have Energy Blue as the theme), you have the choice of the three original Luna variations and the new one is called Royale.

There's no reason to do anything other than what I just said, because you don't need to REPLACE Luna, there's no point really, and the way I just explained is pretty darn easy.

If you're having problems with this method, you did something wrong, because all it's doing is creating a new folder and putting the Royale theme's files in it just like any other theme, including the original Luna theme. And just to be totally clear on this, I was using the Silver Luna theme when I did all of this, so you don't have to have it set to Windows Classic first (because it isn't replacing the original files).

    • Honestly that feels even more useless than it did when Win11 was first released. In 2021, the uproar was somewhat justified, but only when comparing how good we've had it since Windows 7. Prior to that, a new Windows release would often require new, or very recent hardware. Windows XP wouldn't run (in any usable way) on hardware released when it's predecessor Win98 was released (let's ignore ME). It was time to shift the goal post, and the way Microsoft did that was actually ok. People have still had another FIVE YEARS of free software support with Windows 10, and those of us who want to have used these tools to bypass the limitations, all while understanding the impacts that may have. Most laptops don't last 5 years (sadly), so now the youngest unsupported hardware is 9 years old, and apparently has another year of support with Windows 10. That's good. Meanwhile, understanding the impacts and limitations, I have my 2013 laptop running Win11 perfectly fine. The thing that's failing on it is the hardware, the 2.5" SATA cable/chip is failing and corrupting the SSDs I put in. Thankfully it has a functional M.2 sata drive that works fine!
    • iPhone 18 Pro drop-test video and photos leak on the dark web following a data breach by Hamid Ganji iPhone 17 Pro - Image via Apple Apple is seemingly facing one of the biggest data breaches in its history, and just a few months before the official debut of the iPhone 18 Pro series, photos, a drop-test video, a supplier list, and key phone components have reportedly been leaked by hackers. Last week, we reported that Tata Electronics, an Apple supplier and iPhone producer in India, was hit by a data breach. As a result, it was reported that more than 200,000 trade secrets and confidential documents belonging to Apple and Tesla were stolen by the ransomware group World Leaks. According to Reuters, the group has now leaked supplier lists, component details, and photos of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro models on the dark web. One of the materials leaked by the hackers is a drop-test video of the iPhone 18 Pro, which is due to launch this September. The phone is shown in a gray color and has the same familiar design we saw on last year's iPhone 17 Pro series. The device also appears to be quite durable, though it seems to be thicker than last year's model. One possible explanation is that Apple may be using a larger battery in the iPhone 18 Pro series. Moreover, Reuters says it has seen at least six documents mapping many components in the iPhone 18 Pro models to their respective suppliers, including details on chips on the main circuit board and on battery and camera components. The documents reportedly detail hundreds of parts that will be used in the iPhone 18 Pro models. A person familiar with the matter told the outlet that Apple classifies this data as sensitive and “is concerned about the documents being shared on the dark web as they relate to unreleased models.” Apple is reportedly investigating the issue but has yet to issue an official statement.
    • You do you, I've just said that it first appeared in "home" version before it will be available in "work" one. I use Edge only because it still supports MV2 uBO extension even on Android - I'll switch when they stop.
    • I imagine that was a review or something? My reviews mostly contain a lot of images and galleries, but these are all webp too, but yeah it all adds up on the page load. Would help if you were more helpful with your critique instead of bitching and moaning like a Karen 😂 Because then we might be able to fix it for you.
    • If Valve refused to let them make the case, I wonder if they've already partnered with someone else to do it? The fact that they didn't seek permission/licence before diving straight in is incredible though
