can anyone help me install Royal Full Start Menu please ive been tryin for days, and ive gone through some many forums, and i cant find out how to install it.

Assuming you have the theme all you need to do is patch your uxtheme.dll and then extract the folder to your windows\resources\themes folder and select it in appearance.

ahh crap, can u tell me where to get uxtheme.dll

I just went to look it up for you use the uxtheme patcher found here = http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=140707 (The second link in the first post is good)

after i dl the patch and install it,do i just put Royal Full Start Menu in the theme folder

Windows
--Resources
----Themes
------Royale full start menu
--------Shell

It will look just like this...

do i have to reboot?

After patching your uxtheme yes to apply the theme no. Simply go to the appearance section of display properties and under windows and buttond you will see Royale Full start menu, Windows XP and Windows Classic. Select the royale option and then the color section you wish to have and violla you have done it...

hmmm, i think i might be doing something wrong cause its not showing up

i have it in this order

Windows
--Resources
----Themes
------Royale full start menu
--------Shell

but its not showing up in the appearance

Assuming you mean the Royale Luna theme (XP MCE theme), you don't even need to patch uxtheme! Just download the theme from Microsoft (I.E. Signed theme!!) and then select it from the themes properties.

Here I will make it simple for you.

#1. Run the uxtheme patcher and follow all instructions on it to patch you uxtheme.dll. Reboot. Only do this once if you do it again it will restore you original uxtheme.dll

#2. Run this file here --> WWW.wpiw.net/downloads/Royal_Full_Start_Menu.exe <-- This will properly place the theme in you resources folder.

#3. Select the theme.

If all of that fails get me on a messenger.

thanks a lot for the file Kelsenellenelvian, that file made it work, thanks

You are very welcome.

where did u find that file??

I made it.

ahhh i thought so, is it hard to make files like that?

Actaully using winrar it is very simple. Do you use winrar?

i used to i use 7zip, but since i have 2 pc`s, i keep winrar on one of them and 7zip on the other

Crash course on a very basic winrar package.

#1. Right click on the desired folder and select "add to archive"

#2. Choose "create sfx archive", "create solid archive" and best compression method.

#3. Select the advanced tab at the top. Choose "SFX options"

#4. Enter the desired path to extract to.

#5. Click on Okay 2x.

DONE!

Slightly more advanced:

#4.5. Goto the tab of "modes" choose the options of "hide all" and "overwrite all files"

With those 2 options selected you have a silent file that will extract to whatever directory with no interaction beyond the initial 2 clicks on the file.

oh wow cool, thanks for teachin me that

np always glad to spread a little knowledge around.

thanks a lot again, for making the royal full start menu, and for teaching me how to make an install

I also have royalemod if you want it. It has compact start menus. Heck if you want it I have a package with 44 themes most of wich have 4 or more color selection. If you want it I will upload it for you...

sure, i wanna see how that`ll look on my pc, post a link for it when you can, thanks
