It updated the cliché beveled look-and-feel if XP to a contemporary glossy style, whilst keeping similar color schemes and layouts. Without a doubt, XP Media Center’s Royale theme was a huge improvement over Luna.

This skin has not been released to anyone outside Microsoft, until now. If you already have Royale installed, you’ll need to remove it as both of these skins share the same name. You’ll find it’s been signed by Microsoft and doesn’t require a custom UxTheme.dll in case there are any doubts as to its authenticity. Since the skin was never released (or reached final adjustments) there are a few issues with it: some of the colors don’t meet the overall “feel” (they’re too purple-ish compared to the greys of the bitmaps) and the inactive titlebars are a little too dark. The result is an aesthetic black skin named “Royale Noir”, it even works with Office 2003. W3bbo writes,ĭuring Royale‘s development (the XP Media Center theme), the graphic artists also produced a black version of the skin, sans the overused “glass” effect.

After some dedicated searching, he finally uncovered this mystery Windows XP theme by Microsoft. One theme to rule them all.ĭevoted Channel9 member W3bbo spotted an interesting theme on one of the “ people_ready” television commercials airing in the Kingdoms. Now, a young hobbit man by the name of W3bbo saw light of this unheard of theme, and traveled far and wide to uncover its mysteries. It was believed to be too powerful for public consumption and forever archived in the servers at 1 Microsoft Way. Sometime after the launch of XP, somewhere in Redmond, someone on the Microsoft design team was in the progress of developing something for Media Center. Good remote, but best for an uncrowded operating environment.If you don’t fancy the back story, skip directly to download. It's good to know why it kept operating seemingly of its own accord. I didn't know the thing even had an IR sensor in it. Amazingly, the remote will react with and operate my non-media center XP notebook. Aside from getting interference from other remotes, I discovered this was the cause of my "haunted" laptop. Like I said, this lives up to my expectations, but I did get a few surprises.

Overall Review: I picked this up for a Media Center PC in my living room. Note that this doesn't actually operate the PC, merely wakes it up.

I've found that certain buttons on my TV and VCR remotes will react with the sensor, making the red signal LED light up and kicking the PC out of standby. USB plug and play with WinXP Media Center Edition.Ĭons: Doesn't seem to differentiate between remote signals.

Seems to be the cheapest remote option for Windows XP. Pros: Does what it's supposed to: runs Windows Media Center and offers limited functionality in other programs. Using it on a Sammy HL-T6187S with this remote and all I can say is WOW!! My Build: Vista32Ult running on an EVGA 112-CK-NF77-A1, E6750, SAMSUNG HD501LJ HD, 4GB of Mushkin DDR2800, SeaSonic M12 SS-500HM, a Samsung SH-S203N DVDR and (2) SAPPHIRE Theatrix 650 PROs all in a nMEDIAPC 288BA w/VFD running at a cool 31 degrees on stock cooling. I'll probably replace it with one of my other remotes though. It runs great and has a fast response time. Overall Review: After struggling with the IR receiver, I got it installed and connected. I had to pry it's housing open to get to it's guts. They used those tiny torx screws to hold it together. sounds like a good pairing.Ĭons: I wanted to mount the IR receiver inside my case and connect it to a motherboard header. I understand that the Microsoft Remote keyboard (ZV7-00009)uses the IR receiver as well. I'm using it with Vista Ultimate and it navigates through Media Center extremely well. Pros: This is affordable, capable and does just what it is supposed to.
