More or less? Seeing as to how you can download directly from Microsoft.com, I'm pretty sure it's more :).

I use Royale as well, the other 3 defaults do absolutely nothing for me anymore.

What's so great about Royale? It looks a lot like the default XP theme to me.

You all need a new shell, a new visual style, and something other than that green hill for a background.

I'm happy enough till I get vista, and who says we have green hills ? I've tried different shells and there's always something that doesn't look right. Vista you get to choose whether you want the Aero glass effect, solid fill or classic look, and you choose your own colour should you not like the black/default. :)

I use Royale as well. I have it on all my computers now.

I used to use the MCE 2005 one (royale) since that's what I've been running for the past year.... but Lately I've changed it to classic...

i use a theme i downloaded from deviantart.com.

but when i use a computer that isn't mine, i change it to either Classic or Silver, though i prefer Classic since it takes up less screen space.
