Royale Windows XP theme

When Microsoft was designing the Royale theme for Windows XP Media Center, they were testing a Black theme which was scrapped for the blue one.

I’ve found the original black theme. You can download it by clicking here.

Instructions on Installing this theme:

  1. Download msroyale.zip file by clicking here.
  2. Unzip the file, Copy the Royale folder and paste into your themes folder
    (e.g. c:\windows\resources\themes)
  3. Double click the luna.msstyles to start the installation of the theme.
