Royale Theme for XP
This is basically the theme used for Media Centre editions of Windows XP. At various times, it has been made available for download directly from Microsoft (particularly Microsoft New Zealand who also released some NZ-theme wallpapers). Wikipedia has a pretty good explanation if you’d like more information. Currently, most of these links appear not to be working. The Royale Theme can, however, still be downloaded here.
There are also a number of derivations on Royale (including Royale Noir). Personally, I haven’t really worried about chasing any of these down. I’m happy to go with the standard Royale theme.
I usually also install the 3D Windows XP screen saver at the same time. In this case, I’ve extracted just the .scr file and install it using a simple copy command.
The install I use for this eye candy is:
XP_Royale_Theme.exe /S /v/qn @xcopy .3DWindowsXP.scr %SystemRoot%system32 /q /y
(This article is part of a series about the build disc I use to standardise system builds. The series starts here and this particular article follows on from this one.)
