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.

    • All versions is correct. The bug appears on any version of Windows with KB5094126 installed. It's a little insane to expect the author to explain that systems that can't possibly have that patch installed, will not experience the bug. If you have any gripe about the title, it would be that it doesn't mention the update at all, but I wouldn't agree with that either. A title is not expected to be a full summery of the article.

    • I'd say the first one failed to be as popular as Apple anticipated, but the easy adjustment here is to make fewer of them next time around. It would only be a "flop" if it isn't possible for Apple to recover the design and factory tooling costs given the number of units sold, which I doubt would be the case. It isn't like no one bought them; it just failed to become the new hot phone of the year.
    • You're right that it does not follow the plain meaning of the word, but in this context, it is a legal term defined in 49 U.S.C. Kind of how "wire fraud" laws apply even if a physical wire was not used. Given that it is codified in law, and it isn't just automotive journalists that don't understand evolving technology, I highly doubt congress would change a well understood term just because technology makes the term slightly less actuate.
