    That is super old. I used to use it. But the orange got old fast...then i changed to Royale Noir? I think that was what its called. Its the same as Zune theme but instead of orange it was dark blueish. Rather sexy. Then I found an ALL BLACK one. I used that for months then I changed it. look up royale noir, you'll like if you like zune theme.

    I believe the Royale Noir is the unreleased one right? I downloaded that one on a test computer and there seems to be some problem. They say since it was unreleased, there's some minor problems. The orange is a bit bright in the Zune theme, but overall, it's a nice theme.

    When you say all black... do you mean the start icon is a black too? Which is that?

    I'm using the Zune theme on my desktop at the moment. Nice chance from the regular XP blue, green, and silver. I've got the black Luna on my D830 too.

    There's a black luna? Whoa. I guess I've never looked into themes until today. Yeah, I was tired of seeing that same Silver Luna theme and I disliked the green and the blue so I googled it.

    I'm using the Noir like a member suggested. The dark blue is nicer than the orange but whenever I put my mouse over the start icon, it turns back to the original green. But it's okay. I think I'll go do some research on the black luna now. LOL.

    I decided to go through all your posts through your profile as there is only 15 pgs and that thread has over 200. It is for XP right?

    It's fine. I'll stick with Royale Noir for the time being. I just really want to check out this theme that you say looks really cool. So whenever you get the chance, hook it up if possible. Just try not to forget if you run across it on your computer at home. :D

    I found it! It's called Royale Zune. This is the all black one. There's a Royale Noir which is the blueish one.

    Just one question:
    [​IMG]

    See how it uses the Windows Classic theme? Is there anyway to switch it to the regular Luna theme and use the Royale Zune at the same time?

    Could you put all the themes into a zip folder then send it and I'll check it out on a test computer?

    You can set it in the Taskbar and Start Menu Properites window (right click Taskbar->Properites). In the Start Menu tab you have the choice of either "Start menu" or "Class Start menu".

    Heres a picture of my desktop with the "Start menu" option selected. BTW I prefer the "Classic Start menu" version.

    Yeah, I really like how it is now. It beats the old Silver Luna I've been using for years. Royale Zune rocks!
