i hope u like it.

Antioch, I don't understand why you like zune's black but to each his own. I took a look at Fifthe1ement's theme but it seems the only thing done properly was the progressbar. The fixed shellstlye he claimed is actually Royale Noir's grey one and not an edited black Zune's one and the group selections color change was not a matching color as Zune's but way too dark.

Anyway, this is for you, a proper one. Enjoy! :)

Yes, I recall that he did make the theme darker per some people's requests.

Would you be able to fix a few of the remaining orange elements?

The "halo" around buttons is still orange - the buttons I'm talking about are the OK, Cancel, and Accept button in the desktop properties (for example). Also, the taskbar window "ping" (such as when receiving a message from AIM or MSN) is still orange. If you could change these to blue I would be INCREDIBLY thankful. Ofcourse, I already am thankful for the help you've given me. I really appreciate ie.

Think of the orange halo for the controls as what makes the Zune theme unique, personally I think it's a nice touch, Royale and Royale Noir are already blue. Besides, the orange taskbar alert is part of Royale, a consistent part in both Royale and Royale Noir as well. So I'm not going change those. It's already a complete theme, don't be fussy! =P

I would like to add the Vista progress bar to the theme. I know you need reshacker which I have. Does anyone know the steps needed in order to chage this. I'm guessing the progress bar is the same in IE when you load a page or download a file.

I have a vista theme with the progress bar. Does anyone know the process to change them?

I realised the taskpanel part which I thought was white was actually a little orange, and Zune had the mistake of special and normal group headers being the same, so I redid the shellstyle for my Zune Remixed mod. Please redownload.

Changelog:

-------------

-Shellstyle normal and special group headers from orange to 2 shades of black

-Shellstyle normal and special group headers font from orange to grey

-Shellstyle normal and special group compress and expand from orange to grey

-Shellstyle normal and special group background from orange to white

Is there any way you could do a Vista Orb version?

How about a modified 'Log Off" and 'Turn Computer Off' screen to match the theme?

Also, it looks like the add remove programs applet has the old blocked progress indicator?

Nice work....

Came across something interesting at joejoe.org forums...

Seems this guy elixer_arjay and the guys there are big fans of my Royale Noir Remixed and Royale Zune Remixed mods, taking all my work and putting into his mod. Funny, not one of them has ever thanked me though, including the author using my work... I think he's a lurker in my local forum just waiting for my every release, since I'm sure as hell he isn't a member there...

Not that I mind, but a heads up would have been nice...

PS: My latest release is always hidden in my sig, lol... I wonder how many people have tried clicking and found it.

    • Google Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer is leaving for OpenAI by Pradeep Viswanathan Noam Shazeer is best known as one of the co-authors of the 2017 “Attention Is All You Need” paper, which introduced the Transformer architecture that now powers most large language models. He also worked on several major Google AI projects, including LaMDA, before leaving the company in 2021 to co-found Character.AI. He also authored the Sparsely-gated Mixture of Experts (2016) paper, which is popular among the AI community. After falling behind OpenAI and Anthropic a couple of years ago, Google brought Shazeer back in 2024 as part of a major deal with Character.AI. Through this deal, along with Noam, several other researchers returned to Google DeepMind. More recently, he was a vice president of engineering at Google and a technical co-lead for Gemini. Today, Noam Shazeer announced on X that he is leaving Google and joining OpenAI. In his post, Shazeer said it was a difficult decision to move on, adding that he was proud of the Google team and what it had built together. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman welcomed the move with a post of his own, saying Shazeer was one of the people he had most wanted to work with since OpenAI’s early days. Google has made strong progress with Gemini over the past year, closing the gap with OpenAI in several areas. But losing Noam Shazeer is a major talent setback for them, especially after bringing him back less than two years ago by spending a fortune. For OpenAI, the hire adds one of the industry’s most experienced language model researchers to a team that is already pushing ahead with ChatGPT, Codex, and its next generation of frontier models.
