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.

    • Well Statcounter doesn't count Edge users as Chrome. It uses the user agent and my understanding is the Brave browser users the standard Chrome user agent for privacy/tracking reasons and compatibility so that would help the Chrome numbers. Some Firefox users change the user agent for again compatibility reasons. I am going to totally guess the Chrome numbers are inflated some 5 or 6%.

    • Well duh. But it's not their agenda, they just push it forward.
    • Easier to move to Firefox, either Zen Browser or LibreWolf (which includes it by default)
