Tired of poking around for the MS Royale theme, tired of complicated install instructions? Self installing Royale theme is now available direct from MS!

i love it, being using it without any probs since someone posted a link to it ages ago on here :)

It is an awesome look, not as sterile as silver, but it avoids the gay0rness of Blue ;)

:beer:

It's an additional theme without having to install 3rd party software to do it. It's a great looking theme. Everything looks like shiny reflective plastic. It's brighter colored blues and greens, better shading, and better looking menus and buttons.

It's a complete theme. It sets a new wallpaper.

Still, you'd think they'd be a little more creative/different. Anyway, uxtheme isn't thirdparty software, it just patches the existing uxtheme.dll so you can use free themes online. Once you've done that, this MS one is very boring. But, for those of you who don't want to muck around or risk things, I guess it's something different to try. Not complaining, because free is free.

Is there a place where I can see a screenshot of how the theme looks? I don't want to change from my OSX skin without seeing a preview.

All I see if .jpg files, those won't change anything but the background.

I want a screen shot too. Either I am dumb, the link changed or I have no idea what the hell I am doing. The link in the OP is for backgrounds and backgrounds only.

Ok I got it. The damn link to the zip was not working.

The first two are images/ backgrounds, the third (royale.zip) is a zipped installer for the Royale theme.

I'll post a screenshot in a minute if someone else doesn't first.
