New Official Xp Theme

anyone come accross the new official windows xp theme?! i came accross them but didnt download it. it does not need any program to install it, as it is a official theme.the colour is blue darker than the corona xp theme which we currently have and looks more professional. buttons are more slick than the big baby-ish ones.if anyone has it? is there any link to it?thanks!

I'm not sure if there are any new themes there.

Hmm....where did you find this new theme? Anyway, if it's nice, I might consider replacing the Silver theme with it...

I found a reference, rather an article on this theme at: http://www.techspot.com/news/13881-story.html

But it says that the theme and screenshots have been removed at request of microsoft. they are at it AGAIN...bossing around everywhere.

i came across it some time ago but it was leaked out onto the internet. it looked pretty nice. it can be easily replaced by my tastes. getting bored of the old luna theme.

it looks from a search of the MS downloads website that there is a new 'energy blue' theme however it seems to only be avalible on the tablet edition, which is a shame cause i like blue theme's

I use windowsblinds and the themes at wincustomize.com. These official themes are nices but quite boring after a while...

great news everybody! found it while searching around the net! got it installed aint much difference but its gotten more better. pixelsmack! its a blue theme!i would make an attatchment to this post, but due to the restrictions of microsoft and laws. if the admin or mods are confitable with the upload il be happy to upload it.

There's a link on where to download the new theme and how to install it on a standard home/pro edition of windows (google is amazing). It usually requires media center or tablet edition but this guy figured it out. I hope this isn't breaking the rules of the forum since this is kind of a workaround but whatever. Today at work I saw the new theme on a new media center pc that came in, and I like it. Although I use linux primarily, when I'm windows I will probably be switching to the new 'energy blue' theme. I hope this is the same theme I saw today, I believe it is but I'm not 100% sure.

Wow I just did what that website had. And man it sure is awesome!

I just installed it too, and I wouldn't say it's awesome. It is a good improvement on the original theme, but it's nothing extraordinary. For anyone wanting to know what it looks like, here is a screenshot of my desktop with the new theme;

 

i feels much better doesnt it. the luna windows xp theme was getting on my nerves and was tempted in using windows blinds again. windows blinds slows my pc down alot but its a sacrifice i have!

Yeah true. I take back what I said before... it is awesome! At first I didn't see anything too great about it, but after using it for a little while I love it. The changes in it are only subtle, but it does look so much better than before, and somehow I enjoy using my PC more now than I did before. And just like you, I was also thinking of going back to WindowsBlinds, because I was getting very tired of the Luna theme. Thankfully I came across this first and didn't have to resort to WB

i dont know but if you dont like your xp theme, you can download some at http://www.wincustomize.com/.

Nah that's just all skins using WindowsBlinds... and like I said before, I don't want to go back to using that. Plus this is an official Microsoft theme, which I prefer because it's genuine.
