Royale Noir - Windows Xp Theme


During Royale's development (the XP Media Center theme), the graphic artists also produced a black version of the skin, sans the overused "glass" effect. The result was an aesthetic black skin that was named �Royale Noir� and that even works with Office 2003.

Since the skin was never released (or reached final adjustments) there are a few issues with it: some of the colors don't meet the overall "feel" (they're too purple-ish compared to the greys of the bitmaps) and the inactive titlebars are a little too dark.

What's new:
· Updated cursors
· Used 3D menus
· Adjusted colors
· More visible groupbox
· Changed programs list background
· Adjusted toolbar colors
· Adjusted status bar colors
· Royale: Continuous green progress bar
· Noir: List header changed to grey
· Noir: Taskbar scroll arrows adjusted color
· Noir: Adjusted start menu colors
· Noir/Zune: Fixed dark blue line on start button
· Noir/Zune: Redesigned progress bar
