Microsoft has released a new theme for Windows XP that is black and resembles the Vista style. Its name you ask? Zune.

kool. :)
It's doesn't resemble Vista...Not sure why they say that.
i like it. its just like the royale theme just diff colors, microsoft must have spent years making this :shifty:
I like it. I like the orange Start button and the dark bars. I like dark. Dark, dark, dark.
No wonder it took them so long to release a new skin.:lol: :PQuote:

Excellent :D Not really a fan of the orange start bar but i'll get used to it..
So it's exactly the same as the Black Royale and Black Ice theme... Just with an Orange start button...
What's more funny is that it was actually "news" from M$.
Hmmm...Yes, will stick to WindowsBlinds. Some reason I just really don't like this theme.
cool theme i will use it
No offence but it looks kinda gay
Zune? Surprise surprise. :lol:
Dang it don't work with XP64 :(
Looks fine to me.
Changed.
It took years for FST to come up with a black skin too.:dry:
it looks good thx m8
i love this theme thx.
Ya but microsoft is a huge multi-billion dollar company with, probably, hundreds of graphic artists/designers.Quote:

Background = black, letters = white
Hard work and thanx.
it's cool, I'll try it...
lol. made based the "Zune"(a iPod Fake made by Microsh*t) :]
thanks for thats news.
Whats even better is it's not compatible with Vista nor can I uninstall the fricking thing . :pinch:
Why would it (and why would you) want it to be compatible with Vista? Are you talking about the Zune Theme, or the Zune itself?
You can't uninstall it? What happens when you try to uninstall?Quote:

I upgraded over XP with Vista RTM and can't remove Zune theme thru add remove . A box comes up saying this program requires Win XP sp1 or higher ! I just thought it was funny as I then read that Zune the player was n't compatible with Vista either .
I must just have a weird sense of humour or just like the irony of it all .
:O Didn't your mother teach you never to 'upgrade', always do a fresh install.
:D . btw, this Zune... one word (or picture): :( (not impressed, or even "better": dissapointed)Quote:

I did get a 3.5 rating on the system specs ,so he can ran it later if and when a crack is found . ;)
@backlash , I like your thinking . :)

:) That's what I did. I saved the files and then uninstalled and added them back.
cool i like it :D but the start button is little annoying:(
ive read somewhere that this still looks as playmobil in black (the original blue luna theme is playmobil itself). with a touch of the worst possible shade of orange.
also, seeing vista i had to switch back to windows classic; just had to realize that all the XP themes are really-really awful.
Arn't they? There's a XP to Vista thread on how to theme your desktop. Mostly workin' with WindowsBlinds, but there are some really good M$Styles, too.Quote:

thanks for the idea, but unfortunately i dont have money for windowsblinds (and dont feel like pirating it). another alternative is linux: beryl is really-really cool.
you don't have to buy any software to use visual styles unless you want styles made for windowblinds.

Just download the above patch and run it to patch your theme file that will allow unsigned themes to show up in display properties.
