i have applied the new uxtheme patch for 64 bit and still no go. any ideas?

It works here. Extract this rar, then drag and drop the Zune msi file over it.

You could try http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/45323876/ also. I like it better than the one M$ made.

And also look for Softpedia for Royale Noir. It has Zune, Royale and Royale Noir included + changes the default icons to Vista icons.

I know this is old but here is a small tutorial I did a bit ago.

I figured with the Vista flop others may still be interested in this

Thats what I am using at the moment. Worked like a charm.

Uh oh.

I was just trying to get the Noir theme working.

And then I decided to uninstall it.

It seems I lost the ability to use anything besides Classic.

Anyone know of a fix for that?

EDIT: I just rebooted and I'm now able to use the Lua theme again.

Still can't get Noir to work yet..
