Windows XP themes are a way to customize your computer’s look and feel. There are many different themes to choose from, and you can even create your own. There are a few things you need to know before creating a Windows XP theme. First, the theme must be created in the Windows Theme Gallery. Second, the theme must be approved by Microsoft. Third, the theme must be installed on your computer. Finally, the theme must be activated by going to Start > Settings > Themes and selecting Activate Theme. There are many different Windows XP themes to choose from, but some of our favorites include: Blue Moon, Corporate Blue, Earth tones with green highlights, Dark Desktop 3D with black textured backgrounds, and more!
There might be other themes out there, but these are the ones I know about. Feel free to inform everybody in the comments if you know of any others.
Royale
This theme is really bright and blue… Just look at all that blue…
To install this theme you’ll need to download, extract the zipfile, and then run the installer. When prompted for the location to save the files, leave it set to default.
Now you can go into your display settings and change the theme from the list.

Royale Noir
This theme was supposed to be a darker version of the regular Royale theme, but it wasn’t really finished before somebody from Microsoft published it, and it spread all over the web.
After downloading and extracting the zipfile, you’ll need to copy the royale_noir folder into C:\Windows\Resources\Themes and then double-click on the Luna.msstyles file found in that directory and change the settings to match the above screenshot.

Zune Theme
This theme was released to celebrate the Zune launch, and you’ll notice it’s very similar to Royale Noir, except for the kinda ugly orange start button. Long time readers will note that we’ve mentioned this theme before.
Installing this theme is really simple… download and run the installer.
