XP theme, looks like Vista!
Well here you go: try this
Download Royale Noir (.ZIP) [403K]
Download Royale Noir (.RAR) [232K]
- Extract files to “C:\windows\resources\themes\royale noir”
- Double click on “luna.msstyles”
- Select “Noir” from “Color Scheme”
Because this theme has been code-signed by Microsoft, No UXTheme.dll hack required.

Archived Forever? Nah.. Vista looks much similar. Since I don’t like desktop wallpapers, I kept it dark (Although you may want to download one from the net..)
hail XP!!
