Zune Theme Modified To True Royale Black Theme!


Recommended Posts

Black Royale v2

Ok, I went back and made some changes that some of you wanted! I changed the start bar so that its blacker and match's the taskbar tray and I have to admit it looks really good. I also fixed some bugs that were in the theme like the "group similar taskbars?, as it was showing up blue as if they never modified it. I fixed most of the bugs so that the theme feels more complete. I also added a nice streaming solid dark blue progress bar! Thanks for your support and here is v2 of the True Royale Black mod!Images:b>

I'm sticking with v1 of this because i kinda like it the way it is... But i'm just wondering if you could make a matching logonui screen..:):)

man! that version with the black start button is EXACTLY what im looking for. sad thing is, when ever i follow the instructions in your readme (in the .zip) and i swap out those .dll files, my theme uses the zune background but uses the classic non xp startbar.

any ideas?

Nice work on v2. I like the blue progess bar. Would be nice to have a matching blue start button. But overall nice work man.

Thanks

You need the patched UXtheme.dll

After you patch it, everything should work

For myself, I would like a hybrid of version 1 and 2. I prefer the darker start button on V2 but I like the orange progress bar on V1. Would be best if the orange progress bar can also be made into the "solid" one like the blue one in V2.

Easy to do. Just swap Progress Bars and change the default space from 5 to 0.

amd2500+ will make you a special version and pm it to you. :)

For all other users it seems you all want me to change the orange start bar to the same type but with the blue to match the progress bar. I will do that and also change some of the other items to make the blue fit in better with the theme.

If anyone has any special requests or wants a custom version please feel free to post your idea. I am always happy to help anyone I can.

Enjoy & v3 coming soon,

FifthE1ement :alien:

only cuz he asked.....

it would be cool if the min/max window button was a glow"y" light blue ala vista and the min-to-tray button was a glowy green.

Just a suggestion though

wow registered over a year, and THIS was my first post....????

PS if u change the alternate color (start button, prog. bar) from the orange/or planned v3 blue to yellow, u could call the theme "Royale w/ Cheese" ...hehehe

Edited by archalien

First of all, I like to say excellent work on this theme :D Anyway I have a special request from you, for me I like the startbutton to have a blue highlight over the start button (when you move your mouse over the back start button it changes to blue). Also I like to have a blue shellstyle as well and instead of having that darker brown taskbar I like a darker blavkish blue taskbar. Other than that good work.

Hi can anybody tell me how to patch UXTheme.dll and how to install this Theme..

i like this theme very much. iam using windows xp 64Bit version

Use this Free-Patcher, after reboot simply doubleclick

the VS you`ve downloaded (in "windows/ressources/)

Nice work!! I too would like to see a blue/glass start button. Maybe to match the play/pause button colour in MediaPlayer 11 when minimized. Same for the little arrow on All Programs. Just a suggestion but I think this would tie everything together quite well. Thanks again for the mod.

    • Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Rockstar is preparing to launch Grand Theft Auto VI later this year, but ahead of that, the company has revealed a new offer for some Grand Theft Auto V owners. It today announced that Xbox One and PlayStation 4 version owners of the 2013-released title will soon be receiving a free upgrade to the current generation version. The studio released the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 version of Grand Theft Auto V back in 2022, bringing significant upgrades to the original console editions. This included 60 FPS gameplay at up to 4K resolution, as well as major upgrades to textures, draw distance, and audio. Faster load times, ray tracing elements, and HDR support were also added with it. While this new and enhanced version needed a new purchase of the game to jump in, now Rockstar has decided to make it a free upgrade, dropping the $40 price tag entirely on consoles. "Beginning tomorrow, those who own any PS4 version or the digital Xbox One version of Grand Theft Auto V will be able to upgrade to the PS5 or Xbox Series X|S versions at no additional cost, and experience the best versions of GTA V and GTA Online," said the company in an official blog post. The free upgrade offer will be released tomorrow, June 18, for all Xbox One and PlayStation 4 owners of Grand Theft Auto V. Players who will be jumping in on the offer will want to check how to migrate their GTA Online profile from last-generation to current-generation consoles by heading over here. The offer lands ahead of The Kortz Center Heist hitting Grand Theft Auto Online, where players and crews will be tasked with stealing priceless international art from a prestigious gallery in Pacific Bluffs. It doesn't look like Rockstar plans to stop updating its previous game even with Grand Theft Auto VI being on the horizon. The latest title is slated to launch on November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.

    • Rufus 4.15.2391 Beta by Razvan Serea Rufus is a small utility that helps format and create bootable USB flash drives, such as USB keys/pendrives, memory sticks, etc. Despite its small size, Rufus provides everything you need! Oh, and Rufus is fast. For instance it's about twice as fast as UNetbootin, Universal USB Installer or Windows 7 USB download tool, on the creation of a Windows 7 USB installation drive from an ISO (with honorable mention to WiNToBootic for managing to keep up). It is also marginally faster on the creation of Linux bootable USBs from ISOs. A non-exhaustive list of Rufus supported ISOs is available here. It can be especially useful for cases where: you need to create USB installation media from bootable ISOs (Windows, Linux, UEFI, etc.) you need to work on a system that doesn't have an OS installed you need to flash a BIOS or other firmware from DOS you want to run a low-level utility Rufus 4.15.2391 Beta changelog: Improve the guards for using the "silent" option Improve the ability to cancel during write retries Fix unrestricted XML entity expansion and integer overflow in ezxml parser (courtesy of @esadowski4) [GHSA-55r2-34wg-8mv9] Fix "silent" Windows installation failing at 75% in most cases [#2960] Fix a crash during boot when using UEFI:NTFS on Snapdragon X based ARM64 platforms [#2934] Fix the first WUE option always being checked by default [#2965] Fix an infinite loop when using Windows ISOs that contain multiple WIMs Fix "Enable runtime UEFI media validation" checkbox not always being properly enabled Other WUE improvements/fixes for OneDrive removal and username validation (with thanks to @christian8641) [#2984, #2991] Download: Rufus 4.15 Beta | 1.9 MB (Open Source) Links: Rufus Home Page | Project Page @GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 2.7.3 by Razvan Serea Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (MPC-HC) is a free and open-source video and audio player for Windows. MPC-HC is based on the original Guliverkli project (which is no longer maintained) and contains many additional features and bug fixes. As the continuation of the original Media Player Classic, MPC-HC isn’t flashy but it works with nearly any media format. MPC-HC uses DXVA technology to pass decoding operations to your modern video card, enhancing your viewing experience. And MPC-HC supports both physical and software DVDs with menus, chapter navigation, and subtitles. Overview of features A lot of people seem to be unaware of some of the awesome features that have been added to MPC-HC in the past years. Here is a list of useful options and features that everyone should know about: Dark interface Menu > View > Dark Theme When using dark theme it is also possible to change the height of the seekbar and size of the toolbar buttons. Options > Advanced Video preview on the seekbar Options > Tweaks > Show preview on seek bar Adjust playback speed Menu > Play > Playback rate The buttons in the player that control playback rate take a 2x step by default. This can be customized to smaller values (like 10%): Options > Playback > Speed step Adjusting playback speed works best with the internal audio renderer. This also has automatic pitch correction. Options > Playback > Output > Audio Renderer MPC-HC can remember playback position, so you can resume from that point later Options > Player > History You can quickly seek through a video with Ctrl + Mouse Scrollwheel. You can jump to next/previous file in a folder by pressing PageUp/PageDown. You can perform automatic actions at end of file. For example to go to next file or close player. Options > Playback > After Playback (permanent setting) Menu > Play > After Playback (for current file only) A-B repeat - You can loop a segment of a video. Press [ and ] to set start and stop markers. You can rotate/flip/mirror/stretch/zoom the video Menu > View > Pan&Scan This is also easily done with hotkeys (see below). There are lots of keyboard hotkeys and mouse actions to control the player. They can be customized as well. Options > Player > Keys Tip: there is a search box above the table. You can stream videos directly from Youtube and many other video websites You can stream videos directly from Youtube and many other video websites Put yt-dlp.exe or youtube-dl.exe in the MPC-HC installation folder. Then you can open website URLs in the player: Menu > File > Open File/URL You can even download those videos: Menu > File > Save a copy Tip: to be able to download in best quality with yt-dlp/youtube-dl, it is recommended to also put ffmpeg.exe in the MPC-HC folder. Several YDL configuration options are found here: Options > Advanced This includes an option to specify the location of the .exe in case you don't want to put it in MPC-HC folder. Play HDR video This requires using madVR or MPC Video Renderer. After installation these renderers can be selected here: Options > Playback > Output Ability to search for and download subtitles, either automatically or manually (press D): Options > Subtitles > Misc Besides all these (new) features, there have also been many bugfixes and internal improvements in the player in the past years that give better performance and stability.
