None of these theme's would work without that. (in fact I'm not aware of any non-microsoft themes that don't require a patch of some kind)

I would just edit the theme in stylebuilder.. not much to it really.

Yes, but then it's no longer native, you're altering your OS to add a theme.

Re: Royale XP Theme...

yeah... ?

I wasn't making any claim that it wasn't was I?
I just offered to edit a theme that was itself already a non-standard theme..

But it's a native XP theme isn't it? Just a leaked one.

to be honest I thought Richard was commenting on the theme I linked, not the first post.. .. but anyway, I haven't got an unpatched version of XP to test out whether it's native or not.. :p: :D

Maybe, you'd like to be guinea-pig for us then Bifta? ;) :)

Its a nice theme, I have also been using a "Longhorn" theme which is also very nice. (Available on p2p somewhere)

Yeah I have a unmodified xp home installation only thing on it really now apart from standard is new direct x and sp2, and it installed and is fully working without any modifications to my system, i wont run style xp or other rubbish like that ( my view ) which hogs memory and tends to cause system problems i found. especially once ur mucking with bootscreens and icons and wanna restore them back it never does it right.

As for the longhorn theme ( or transformation ) on most p2p networks i installed that on my spare pc, it is ok if you get a good installion remove it to go back to xp standard but again we are going back to modfication here, so i steer clear of that.

Anymore of the quality shown with first post here with MCE 2005 theme be wicked.

I agree on the installing stuff that modifies operating system files, it was a risk i took knowingly just to test its reliability and i found it to be ok.

I have set stylexp so it doesnt load anything apart from the process "Stylexpservice.exe" and that uses at peak 2200KB memory and <1% cpu load (my pc has been on all day and that process has used 0 cpu time) so it isnt a scratch on performance.
