Yes. thanks.

But i cant download from megaupload. Is there any file server that you are able to host?

And where is the folder for zune?

[AJaye]

Zune folder is located:

C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\Zune

unzip the file to that location and it will overwrite the exsisting one.

File hosted:

Here

Or Here

Zune folder is located:

C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\Zune

Have you patched your uxtheme.dll?

[tototrain]

Have you patched your uxtheme.dll?

hm.... in order to use The original Zune, i need to patch my uxtheme.dll right?

If that is the case, i have already patch it.

[Minchino]

No, the original Zune theme is digitally signed by microsoft and therefore does not need a uxtheme.dll patch, however any modified version no longer carries the digital signature and your uxtheme.dll must be patched. The neowin patcher can be found here.

i see. But i have just downloaded the patche and overwrite the files.

However, still it does not work for me..

[AJaye]

have u re-applied the theme? double click the 2kb zune icon in C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes. or Right-click desktop > properties etc.

And yea, I assumed you had a patched uxtheme.dll.

Any1 esle downloaded it to see if it does actulay work? I mean it works on mine fine...

[tototrain]

Thanks!!

Looks like i did not re-apply the theme!

Hi Ajaye, I'm using the final version of this Royale Noir theme & I've got a similar request here:

Was wondering if it is possible to change the white program menu background to a matching black( as the rest of the start menu), & every single WHITE font on the start menu(including the start button) to a nice complementing red? Leaving everything ELSE untouched, of course, i.e. borders separators, etc

Well, is it possible? Without installing any extra theme manager or other pieces of software? & I'll like the seamless blue pogress bar(by FifthElement) too, but I'll like to keep my current theme...can't I just hack/edit some things to make all 3 things happen, i.e. blackprogram background, red complementing menu fonts, & seamless blue progress bars?

Thanks...

Ah ok. I thought you meant the modified version.

[AJaye]

ralliart12, it seems that Royale Noir handles the BMP’s differently than the zune or luna .msstyles… Everytime I change the progress bar to FifthElement’s progress bar it renders the theme defunct.

Also I do not know how to change the colour of the text on the program list or start button to red, and I think it goes beyond the use of a modded uxtheme.dll. I even poked around in explorer.exe and played around with some of the raw hex data, but nothing worked.

As regards the menu background that is easy to do, but like I said above it seems Royale Noir was compilied differently to Zune, as the progress track either kills it, or it displays it like the old luna theme with blocks of colour.

I’ll work on it a bit more tomorrow, at the moment I have an assignment I need to finish which I really should be working on.

Just another note, I may have started something of a request line which I did not intend to happen. After this visual theme I wont be “filling” requests. Lets all just wait for FifthElement’s verion.

Incidentally if anyone else wants a bash at it feel free too.

AJaye, here's the msstyles with the menu text edited to white to help you out with the black background for ralliart12. :)

Link: Download

PS: I didn't do the red start text because I think it looks awful. :D

i downloaded the msstyle from oddbasket, and the the black (or the supposed black) start menu isnt there. All i get is a white menu with white text and its impossible to see unless you highlight the item.

could you please fix that? ty

[tototrain]

hi, im here to make another request...

i do not know if you guys have created.

I previously wanted the background of zune is orange.

My sister wants a background of black, white font with zune.

Is it possible to help me out for another time?

Thanks.

It's not 'supposed' and there's nothing to fix. Read my post carefully... Arjaye mentioned he didn't know how to change the the text to white so I did it for him. He's already doing a black background for ralliart so I needn't bother.

[lgiietc]

ahh...sry for the misunderstanding...

[AJaye]

First off, Thank you very much oddbasket - the file helped alot.

Second, royale noir is done (to a certain extent), still not 100% happy with it.

Hosted Here and Here

Also, oddbasket would you be so kind as to tell me or pm me how to change the colour of the text... either I've missed the obvious or it is just something I havent learn't how to do yet.

cheers.

editing the bitmaps is half of skinning, the other half is mainly changing the ini files under textfiles, thats where all the settings are.
