There are more themes turning up that are officially from microsoft that are fully signed, meaning you don’t need to modify you windows XP install to use them, but were made instantly available to everybody for various reasons.
1) Royale Style (MCE Theme aka Energy Bliss)
This was provided with windows XP Media Centre Edition only, but has been extracted so it may be installed on any XP edition. This package also provides the Royale Noir style, thanks to http://samanathon.com/royale-noir-a-secret-xp-theme-uncovered-7/
Note: The download from here has been updated by comparison to that from samanathon.com
Provided as part of Windows XP Embedded, in the same way as MCE was.
3) Zune Style
The official microsoft Zune Style, but has been made into a zip instead of the msi that is provided directly from MS. This is a free download available to all.
4) Luna Style
This is provided as part of any XP install, and has not been screenshot because of that. I have however provided it as a download, as I know how easily some of these files are lost.
Provided for the same reason as the luna Style.
I hope these are useful, to install any of these these and styles, unzip into ‘<Windows Directory>\Resources\Themes’, for exampe, on my system it is C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes.
I really liked this post. Can I copy it to my site? Thank you in advance.
Hi there! Gald you like my post.
Copying it seems a little pointless, so I’d like to ask you not to copy it. Feel free to link to me though! That way people will be able to see any updates to the post aswell!
Thanks for understanding.
Hi, cool post. I have been wondering about this topic,so thanks for writing.

Thanks for stealing my content and traffic!

I’m sorry you feel this way. But I would like to point out the following:
The themes are from microsoft
All of the themes on this page may be installed simultaniously
I did actually link to you to pass on my thanks
All of my images I created myself (10 mins switching themes and a touch of photoshop)
I hope you can see my reasoning.
Yours
Ben
