I used Royale Blue for ages, it was super easy to find the installer for and was signed by M$ so needed no UXTheme patch.
There was also Royale Noir and Royale Zune. Noir is a dark theme (Not to be confused with dark mode) and Zune, which was a different shade of black and sported an orange start button. Lastly there was also Royale Embedded which was a darker shade of blue, and had a blue Start button.
Lol, I grew up with the 98se theme and xp theme, and at this point i just think they’re both incredibly ugly. Peak windows desktop prettiness and usability was windows 7 for me.
XP, though? Hell yeah. I still miss that theme.
The Media Center theme was a nice twist on the default XP theme I’ll admit.

I disabled the UI stuff where it would look like Windows 2000 from XP until it stopped letting me. Different strokes, I guess.
