My new XP "Royale Live" skin based on the default theme for Windows XP Media Center Edition.

I had some lots of help from aNILEator and .typeZERO (davidpolitis), and the resources were from the official Energy Bliss MCE theme (MSSTYLES) and shell32.

UPDATE! I have found a nifty little program called AlphaConv, which is the key to a lot of the images in the MSSTYLES (the world needs more BMP32 support ), so I'm going to start up work again on RoyaLive!. I'm estimating it will take me an immense amount of time to do both, but when it's done it will be worth it.

SO -- Here is what's happening:

RoyaLive! - v2 Released

ZuneLive! - v1 Released

Woa! That looks really nice!

Any chance we can see a Vista Media Center edition too?

thats looking awesome, just ytou shouldnt be removing the ads

note: should remove emails from screenshots

Don't use a patched messenger to skin on. If you are changing any UIFiles you will need to use the original unmodified resources (which can only be extracted correctly if you are using an unpatched messenger at the time you extract the resouces).

If it's going to be a publicly distributed folder you need to use the Definition/Style files from the Windows folder inside the Resources folder. The ones in Consolidated are (mostly) ment to help you find things easier.

True. I'll get him to start working with fresh ones tomorrow

Nice signature btw

Not bad , i guess you can remove/blur your contact list.

nice

Looks good, got to say though that the image for the chat window toolbar background looks nasty though , maybe recreate that one, or edit it slightly, it seems too stretched out.
