Is it possible to change the active window buttons (minimize, maxamize, and close) to the same ones as the innactive window buttons? I really like the dark Zune theme and these blue/red buttons kinda throw it off.

Also can you rehost the files you have posted on hardware forums, I would like to get the patches but they are broken.

:cool: Really nice work oddbasket! I'll check it out on my home computer asap. :yes:

I read you don't use StyleBuilder? What do you use then to edit visual styles? :huh:

And thanks for the the promotion, you are really nice! :blush:

Ps.: Oh boy, some of the comments... :rolleyes:

Many many thanks oddbasket. I was so sick of the bland XP themes. I tried window blinds, but wasn't impressed, especially with yet another icon in the system tray and the fact that it messed up Power DVD. I downloaded your work and was relieved that it installed so easily (I've never tried this sort of thing before). The results are just what I wanted. :yes:

Very nice theme! I just wanted to ask if anyone knew of a way of getting this working on XP SP3?

I applied the patch, install the Patch and the Royale Remixed .exe (restarting if/when prompted) and when I go to the Display options, the themes appear - but when clicked; the preview window remains blank and I get the following error message:

And as soon as I apply the patch, I am stuck with the Windows Classic theme.

You need to update the uxtheme.dll to one that works with SP3. See the link below.

    • "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
    • Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri by David Uzondu Image via Apple Today, at the opening keynote of Apple's annual World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC), the company announced Siri AI, a "reimagined version" of its voice assistant that runs on Apple Intelligence. Siri AI helps you do things like draft messages, edit photos, and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations. You can access Siri AI through several methods, depending on the device. While "Hey Siri" remains active, iPhone users can also press the side button, swipe down from the Dynamic Island, or use a system-wide context menu on Mac to analyze on-screen text. Image via Apple If you ever need to go back and check previous interactions, you can open the dedicated Siri app to view your entire conversation history. This application privately syncs your data using iCloud, leveraging local Foundational Models alongside Apple's secure Private Cloud Compute servers to keep user data inaccessible to outsiders. On the iPhone, Apple built the assistant into the Camera app, bringing Visual Intelligence to help you split bills or count calories. This feature also expands to the iPad and Mac, letting users use screenshots or shortcuts to analyze images, while Apple Vision Pro users can ask questions about objects in their physical room. Other things to know about Siri AI include systemwide dictation that automatically handles punctuation and formatting, customizable voice speeds, and a spatial 3D interface built for Apple Vision Pro. Apple also added Smart Stack suggestions on the Apple Watch to help you continue recent conversations directly from your wrist. The road to Siri AI was quite bumpy for Apple, which initially promised these capabilities at WWDC 2024 when the Cupertino tech giant debuted Apple Intelligence. Apple later turned to Google, signing a $1 billion annual deal to use Gemini models instead of relying solely on its own in-house systems. However, this deal came only after consumers sued Apple because features Apple promised "did not exist at the time, do not exist now, and will not exist for two or more years." Siri AI is available for developer testing on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, and visionOS 27.
    • Real shame the 16 GB versions are crazy more expensive than this.
    • Making me care less about LibreOffice with every tantrum they throw.
    • And within the EU all this Siri AI stuff will probably work around 2030 and the IPhone 25 🤣
