Windows Embedded Theme

There are only a limited number of Windows themes available that don’t require the uxtheme.dll patch, and most of them are getting a bit tired: Royale, Royale Noir, Zune.

As you can see from the start menu image at the right, it’s shiny and blue. The download has been strangely packaged (as a rar inside a zip), so I’ve re-uploaded a straightforward zip file to RapidShare and RapidSpread.

Download it, unzip it, and place the .theme and embedded folder into your %systemroot%\resources\themes (usually c:\windows\resources\themes) folder, then double click on the embedded.theme file.

You’ll be immersed in the glorious azure tones of the Windows Embedded theme.

Enjoy!
