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.

    • I bought this game. Played it for an hour, and then got a refund from Steam. Not a fun game at all.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.
