Sorry guys. Tried the search function (would't it be good to rename it to "read all threads by yourself" function) - no satisfying answer.

Where can I find thr royale theme. Do I need any additional software and - if yes - is it free ?

Thanks in advance.

u can find it at microsoft, its for a different version of windows then the XPHome/Pro so u need 2 extract the installer with winrar

its free

u need uxtheme.dll or stylexp

There is a couples of them:

RoyalFour 1.2

RoyleMod

Royal Inspirat

the original theme is @ microsoft.com as i previously suggested, those are all mods of it, much like "luna" has about 100,000 different variants, but only 1 official

I think This is It

thanks guys. you helped a lot.

bear in mind that MS forgot a file or something with that..some people are having problems running it on their XP machines...

do a google search, and you should come up with the problems - maybe someone has fixed it by now......

u need uxtheme.dll or stylexp

The original Royal Theme that is aviable for download from microsoft doesn't need any patched uxtheme.dll or stylexp.. if that is what is you ment...

This is the official theme repackaged by ToBe. Quite good. I use it for myself.
