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,

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.

    • I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.
    • Watch Louis Rossmann's recent experience on YouTube about trying to get a warranty replacement from Samsung. It's crazy.
    • That is the thing, how many of these people don't realise they are using AI? If they use Google Search they have no choice but to use AI. So yes, maybe half of American adults do use and I expect a lot of Uk adults do to, but I bet most of them don't realise it. Myself, i avoid the rubbish.
    • They use FREE AI. They aren't paying for this meme-generating slopware...
