Zune Theme Modified To True Royale Black Theme!


Recommended Posts

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.

Here you go.

Download: Here Or Here

Cheers to oddbasket for pointing me in the right direction. :D

Ok, can't seem to edit my older posts.. dunno if thats just a neowin thing... otherwise i would just update the links.

Anywho...

Proper version for ralliart12 (Royale Noir) with working progress bar [FithElements Blue]. Here

I tried the red fonts on start button/menu and it looks awful.. can hardlyread it. So this is the white version.

Erm, according to the pinned thread at the top of the page, to use a msstyle file, I will need to ...

2. Extract the visual style to a folder with the same name in the following directory: C:\Windows\Resources\Themes. For example, if the msstyles file is xyz.msstyles, create a folder called ?xyz? in C:\Windows\Resources\Themes and extract xyz.msstyles to that folder.

3. To load the visual style, go to the Display Properties > Appearance > Windows and Buttons, and find the visual style. Do not look for the visual style in the Themes tab. You can also double-click the msstyles file.

But I'm ALREADY using my current Royale Noir theme, & there is ALREADY a Royale Noir folder inside my resources/theme folder. May I know how t\how do I de-conflict both? i.e. do I delete my current Royale Noir folder, replace the royale noir mssytle file only, or wat?

Thanx.

here is the download link of my 2nd zune mod http://d.turboupload.com/d/1252912/Zune.rar.html

Screenshot: above

Dude, you didn't change this -> 'closebuttonglyph.bmp' and it's sizes. You have a black close button with an orange cross on click.

Just overwrite the .msstyles file.

hey xmexx, is there a way to modify the theme and make it black and blue, because it's all black, i mean to make it like the orange zune, but instead of the orange stuff, there would be blue stuff, the progress bars and all the orange stuff would look great in blue with black

Hi , thanks again

but my file explorer background menu is white...

It was actually Black when i use the background of orange menu version

Can you make it black?

It sounds like you haven't extracted the zune.msstyles file into the correct folder, or you have just double clicked it on the desktop.

The explorer side menu colour is controlled by shellstyle.dll.

1. Put the zune.msstyles I made into C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\Zune. - in that folder there should be another folder called "Shell", within that folder is another folder called "NormalColor", and within that should be the Shellstyle.dll. if it is not there you can download it here

2. Either double-click the zune.msstyles in C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\Zune OR Double-click the 2Kb Zune theme file located a directory above. (C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes)

okie! solved it.

really thanks alot.

:)

hope i wont be making another request that soon!

Since it doesn't look like fifthelement is going to be making the full blue zune theme, would you be willing to make a true BLACK version of your theme, oddbasket - or would you please make a true blue version of fifthelement's most recently released theme?

Thanks a lot.

You mean take everything I've done to the noir and dump it into zune? Sorry dude, as I said before, I don't even like the zune theme enough to work on it. And people who say they like the zune are trying to change away everything that makes it zune. I only do what I can to finish the Royale Noir theme. I've got nothing against you, no hard feelings, ok? :no:

Lol, yea no hard feelings. I just don't think your grayish/blue version is better than a true black/blue version. i know its all a matter of personal choice, of course ;)

Why don't you like the Zune theme? I don't care much for it either, I much rather like your royale noir version, everything about it, except for the gray aspect, I'd just prefer black which is why I asked to modify Zune.

Actually, is it hard to modify the color of the window bars? If so I might just personally modify royale noir to true black. It shouldn't be too hard to just change one line, right?

Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it as I do like your royale noir, I just wanted a black version as opposed to gray. =D

But I agree - no hard feelings :D

Antioch, if you don't want to mod the graphics you want and dump into zune, than you will need to extract and dump zune's black taskbars (many bitmaps) into noir, which is alot more if you want the controls to match the black as well. You need a resource editor like reshacker. Easier to just dump into zune.

did microsoft give you a go on this ?

Why, yes. Yes, they did. In fact, these people work for Microsoft. Do you question their credibility? Have a doubt about the legitimacy of these releases? Want to do something about it big man? Do it. Aye, aye, do it. Do it. Aye. Do it.

    • The quantum search for Time's origin had an equally mind-boggling conclusion by Sayan Sen Image by Steve Johnson via Pexels A theoretical study from researchers at the University of Surrey suggested that the direction of time may not be fundamentally fixed in certain quantum systems. The work, published in Scientific Reports, examined how the “arrow of time” could emerge from microscopic physics and found that time-reversal symmetry can remain intact even in models used to describe processes such as energy loss and thermalisation. The arrow of time refers to the observed one-way direction from past to future in everyday life. In macroscopic processes, this is easy to see. Spilled milk spreads across a table and does not gather back into a glass, and heat flows from hotter objects to colder ones. These processes shape the common sense idea that time moves in a single direction. However, at the level of fundamental physics, many equations do not prefer a direction of time. Time-reversal symmetry means that the same physical laws can describe a system whether time moves forward or backward. This has made it difficult to explain why irreversible behaviour appears in the large-scale world even when the underlying rules do not require it. Dr Andrea Rocco, Associate Professor in Physics and Mathematical Biology at the University of Surrey, described this contrast: "One way to explain this is when you look at a process like spilt milk spreading across a table, it's clear that time is moving forward. But if you were to play that in reverse, like a movie, you'd immediately know something was wrong – it would be hard to believe milk could just gather back into a glass. However, there are processes, such as the motion of a pendulum, that look just as believable in reverse. The puzzle is that, at the most fundamental level, the laws of physics resemble the pendulum; they do not account for irreversible processes. Our findings suggest that while our common experience tells us that time only moves one way, we are just unaware that the opposite direction would have been equally possible." The study focused on open quantum systems, which are quantum systems that interact with a surrounding environment. This environment, often described as a heat bath, can exchange energy and information with the system. The researchers used this framework to study how a direction of time might appear even when the underlying physics does not enforce one. A key part of the analysis involved the Markov approximation. This is a simplification used in many models where the system is assumed not to retain memory of its past states. The idea is that changes depend only on the current state, not on earlier history. This is commonly used when studying thermalisation, which is the process where a system settles into equilibrium with its environment. The study also used concepts such as master equations, including the Lindblad and Pauli equations, which describe how probabilities of different quantum states change over time. Another related model discussed was quantum Brownian motion, which describes the random-like movement of a quantum particle interacting continuously with its environment. In these descriptions, a “memory kernel” can appear, which is a mathematical term that accounts for how past states influence current behaviour. The researchers found that applying the Markov approximation did not break time-reversal symmetry. Even when the system interacted with an effectively infinite heat bath, the resulting equations of motion remained symmetric in time. This meant that the same mathematical description could, in principle, run forward or backward in time without contradiction. The study further showed that standard frameworks used in open quantum systems, including quantum Brownian motion and master equations like the Lindblad and Pauli forms, could be written in a time-symmetric way. These equations are typically used to describe processes that look irreversible, such as dissipation and thermalisation, but the results suggested they can also be interpreted as allowing evolution in both time directions. Thomas Guff, Research Fellow in Quantum Thermodynamics, said: "The surprising part of this project was that even after making the standard simplifying assumption to our equations describing open quantum systems, the equations still behaved the same way whether the system was moving forwards or backwards in time. When we carefully worked through the maths, we found that this behaviour had to be the case because a key part of the equation, the "memory kernel," is symmetrical in time. We also found a small but important detail which is usually overlooked – a time discontinuous factor emerged that kept the time-symmetry property intact. It’s unusual to see such a mathematical mechanism in a physics equation because it's not continuous, and it was very surprising to see it appear so naturally." The researchers also noted that deriving a one-way arrow of time from time-reversal symmetric microscopic dynamics remains an open problem across fields such as thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, particle physics, and cosmology. Their results suggested that some standard descriptions of irreversible behaviour in open quantum systems may be better understood using a time-symmetric formulation of Markovianity. According to the study, processes such as thermalisation, which are usually treated as irreversible, could in theory be described in a way that allows evolution in either time direction under the same rules. This does not imply that time reversal occurs in everyday life, but rather that the underlying equations do not strictly enforce a single direction. Overall, the findings suggested that the perceived direction of time may emerge from how physical systems are modelled and approximated, rather than from a fundamental asymmetry in the laws themselves. The researchers noted that this perspective could have implications for ongoing work in quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and cosmology on the origin of time’s arrow.
