Have any of you seen this yet? I'm using it now and I really like it, you should try it.

I am pretty sure this is old news, but it looks cool none-the-less.

EDIT My spidey senses were right

This is a new theme for windows xp. It does NOT require you to any program or replace any dll. Its an official M'zoft theme taken from windows xp media center edition 2005 build 2149

Anyone have a nice, dark Firefox theme to go along with this?

Eh, I have it applied right now, I'm not sure how I feel about it. I had the "Energy Blue" theme that came with my "Media" edition Windows, I think I like that one better. I'd really like this if over by the clock it wasn't so dark, and by the "Start" button. Oh well, I'll give it a shot.

[quote72c64a4cde]As W3bbo pointed out, there are quite definitely issues with this theme due to its incompleteness. The most obvious being, the “Start” button’s hover and active states are unchanged from Royale, inconsistent with the purple tint surrounding. However, there is even a color scheme for Office 2003 so it will not default to the blue Luna colors.[/quote72c64a4cde]

I'm gonna stick with the normal blue Royale theme.

It's nice, but maybe too dark. Nice find though, thanks.
