Mixed responses on the theme change I see...

XPize has always been about updating old system resources.
I was never a fan when XPero changed the visual style in xpize.

Pgase's visual style was originally chosen as a last minute thing.
Now i've come across an official XP dark style logon (zune) It just seemed perfect, admittedly I dont like the orange twinges to it though.

Royale Noir looks even better than zune, but I'm sure I've tried that out before and something went wrong... will have another looksy!

Royale noir is an unfinished theme the inactive windows looks like crap...

But yeah I suppose you are right about the Zune theme.

Also as a slight thing that may cause issues the royale noir is named luna so you would be replacing the standard windows XP themes with it.

Thanks for the update Zedox.

For the theme choice, I think Zune is a good Idea, but as you I don't like the orange in it.

I just tried Royal Noir, but I don't like It... Not User Picture, Not dark enough, etc...

The one I use is Luna Element-5.05 (And I choose Black of course.)...
I have tried the Luna Element 5.1 but don't like it.

If only we can tweak Zune theme to change the Orange thing, It could be perfect IMO.

Great skin.. thank-you for all your hard work!

Quick question (that must have been answered but I can't find it), how do you remove the start text?

Thanks!

Is changing the orange parts of the Zune theme to black a possibility?

Changing the orange bitmaps would be a piece of cake!

Note to all

My website is going to be down for the rest of the month...
Within the first 2 days of the release of 2.1 my bandwitdth used was double my hosting accounts limits...

Yes, I saw this but I thought you used a separate tool because your start-button is black instead of orange in the first screenshot.

I kind of like Pgase's Vista Luna Basic, myself, especially the subdued colors to indicate a window wants your attention. Only thing I don't like about it is losing the logon photo in the start menu.

Royale Noir is the base for Zune. It was not ready for the first launch so they removed from the original Royale theme. Now they have completed it and added this orange and launched as Zune. Perhaps an combination of both could be better - to take elements form zune to replace the odd parts of Royale Noir.
