Fifthe1ement Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 (edited) Zune Theme Modified To True Royale Black Theme! Many users were asking for a true ?Royale Black? theme since they didn't care for the orange start button that accompanies the new Zune theme. I wanted to create a true black theme so I modified the Zune theme and changed the start button to match the black start bar perfectly. Also, when you highlight the start button, Zune orange appears and then gets lighter or darker, depending on the version, once you click through mimicking previous Windows themes. I also included a new Shellstyle.dll, which is optional and included within the download, so that users that didn't like the orange task bar menus can replace them with black task bars that match the start bar. Instructions and images are included below and via a read me file in the downloadStart Button Position Images: [/u.............Normal........................Mouse On.................Pressed (Light).............Pressed (Dark)...........Orange Task Bar.............Black Task Bar....... There are two versions of this mod, a light and dark that change how the start button is highlighted once you click it. You can compare images 3 (light) and 4 (dark), above, and decide which mod you want. I happen to prefer the dark as it seems to flow more with the black theme although the light looks great toDownload Light Version (Image 3 Above): http://rapidshare.com/files/2036472/Black_Royale.zip.html http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PY0DWOFM http://www.zshare.net/download/black_royale-zip.html http://d.turboupload.com/d/1172263/Black_Royale.zip.html[/ur Download Dark Version (Image 4 Above): http://rapidshare.com/files/2057696/Black_...e_Dark.zip.html http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5EVFINMQ http://www.zshare.net/download/black_royale_dark-zip.html http://d.turboupload.com/d/1173356/Black_R...e_Dark.zip.html[/urInstructions: Instructions & Information:Extract the "Themes" folder to: "C:\Windows\Resources\" To enable the theme either go to your display properties and/or double click "Zune.msstyles" or "Zune.Theme". You now have the true Black Windows Royale Theme! Note: If you do not like the orange task bars you can swap the Shellstyle.dll included in the main directory of this archive with the one located in: "C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\Zune\Shell\NormalColor" This modified Shellstyle.dll changes the orange task bars to black matching the start bar colors.

RichardK Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 You might want to mention that this requires a patched UXTheme.dll file so they don't waste their time downloading it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleNeutrino Veteran Posted November 5, 2006 Veteran Share Posted November 5, 2006 actually if you already installed the original version all you have to do is copy the files that are in the download into the file that they are in for the original and it works fine simply either restart the computer or change to the regular xp theme and then change back to zune and it all works out fine. just so you know.

Innuendo Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Awesome job on the theme work! I thought the original orange start button was lame...great theme for Halloween, though. Only way this could be better is to get rid of the orange progress bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifthe1ement Posted November 5, 2006 Author Share Posted November 5, 2006 Any other ideas? What colors would you like the progress bars to be sicne I can make a version for you. FifthE1ement :alien: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randolph Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 I think this goes into the same categorie as distributing Royale mods. Isn't this against Neowin rules? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifthe1ement Posted November 6, 2006 Author Share Posted November 6, 2006 Give me a break... man there is always a fun-kill/narc around somewhere.

Innuendo Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Fifthe1ement, Since you asked...maybe a nice Obi-Wan Kenobi lightsaber blue or maybe a wicked Darth Vader lightsaber red for the progress bars. I'm just not a fan of orange, but I really appreciate your work! thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's common sense. You can also stop acting like a kid with your immature comments like above :rolleyes: It's also very annoying that you're acting as if the modding you're doing to this theme is the greatest mod that's ever been done to a theme :rolleyes: That leaked Royale Noir theme beats any mod you're doing to this thing ;) All you're doing is changing colors or making them darker.
