I was getting bored of the stock visual styles that came with Windows XP on my netbook so I had a Google for some other ones and came across Royale Noir which was suppose to be for Windows XP Media Edition, it looked quite good so I thought I’d give it a whirl. The wallpaper (Spectrum of the Sky) complements the colour scheme quite nicely and its all pretty easy on the eyes. The Rocketdock skin at the bottom I dug up from here.
The whole desktop seems to match the blueness of my Aspire One. A happy coincidence really, all I wanted was something different from the run-of-the-mill XP desktop.

I’ve been using a Royale XP theme ever since I had my Fujitsu S7110. Not Noir, but Remixed (http://oddbasket.deviantart.com/art/Royale-Remixed-44294818). Can’t see where the diff is, though.
I’ve downloaded and installed this. Love it. One question though; the screen shots show the Start Menu in black. Mine’s not. How does one change this?
It’s actually a dark blue colour. If you hover on the start button, it turns green.
