I also thought this did not work when I first installed it. But then I discovered the trick. Go to the Appearance tab and you will see that you have two choices under “Color Scheme.” Select Royale Noir. It is also possible to rename the luna.msstyles file to royale.msstyles and use the *.theme files that came with the Royale download that was on Microsoft Download Center or the ones in Media Center Edition. It is probably also possible to just save your current theme. But take care to save it in%SystemDrive% WINDOWS Resources Themes. And Long thanks for allowing us to download this.

I’ve been using Royale for almost a year, but having another color scheme is great. The only down side to me is the Start Button. I’ve tried both the Zune theme and the Royale theme, and everything seems to be fine except that when I browse/explore a data CD-R or data DVD-R, the icons for directories do not display the default/regular beige-colored windows folders, and instead have been replaced as Internet Explorer “e” icons. Does anyone else have this issue? Blondie Discography Rar there. I haven’t applied any other skins or themes to my system. It is the default Windows XP installation and all I am trying out are these 2 themes but they both seem to exhibit this same minor issue. Any help is appreciated.
