XP Themes / Zune-Usmanistan

Or, try these alternate versions:

Artist's Note

I really liked the Zune Theme. It was that classic XP feel, with an added touch of elegance. Only, I really disliked that ugly orange. I'm sorry to all of those energetic, bold people who love to wear orange, but I'm a bit more of a 'chill' kind of guy. I like nice calm colours [Canadian spelling] that are soothing.

The Zune-Usmanistan Theme is like an extended version of the original MS Zune Theme. You can change that distasteful orange to many colours that I have chosen, under the 'Colour Scheme' menu on the 'Appearance' tab, in 'Display Properties'.

Admittedly, I made this theme in about 5 minutes, using StyleBuilder which I just started using for the first time yesterday. And I'm sure there are some amazing computer graphic artists who are probably hysterically laughing at the 'Download' button for my theme, as in comparison to their themes, is very primitive. But I think there will be some people out there who will really appreciate this theme.

It really does look nice!

Anyhoo, I invite you to make any suggestions, comments, and the bluntest of criticisms, as without them I will have no reason to change the theme.

Well, that's it. Here is my first theme upload ever.

Enjoy!

	report UsernameHere says: I registered just so that I could tell you this theme was EXACTLY what I was looking for. Works great -- I had to to doubleclick the msstyles file inside the 'Zune-Usmanistan' folder post-unzip to activate. No other methods will work. Currently enjoying a sleek all-black look with my firefox\opera skins and your 'blueberry' theme. Thanks for putting it together! Fri, Mar 28th at 12:08pm (6 months ago)
	report nuu says: I love the plum theme. I have 1 request, though. Could you please make another like the plum theme, but use true black for it? I know it's probably asking a lot, but I like a true black for my theme. Then this would be completely perfect. ^_^ Thanks. Fri, Apr 18th at 03:03pm (5 months ago)

	report drames says: I don't know exactly what "true" black is, but apparently i'm not the first one to make a theme like this, and another theme called Zune Final (I know it sounds better than mine), might have true black. But its best to download both and see for yourself, the Zune Final theme is more darker colours, and my theme's is more vibrant. choose for yourself, you can download Zune Final at: Fri, May 2nd at 11:01pm (5 months ago)
	report Baa says: I just downloaded it and applied it but i got the stupid orange colour again... I wanted it to be purple.... how do i fix this? Fri, May 9th at 10:13pm (5 months ago)

	report G-Pow says: Nice theme. thx for sharing! Mon, Jun 16th at 09:25pm (3 months ago)
	report G-Pow says: Also, Could u post where u got those backgrounds? i like them and i think the would be perfect on my other comp with this theme. Mon, Jun 16th at 09:32pm (3 months ago)
	report drames says: Ok, what you want to do is to open up the msstyles file (the bigger one, it should be about 7mb) within the extracted zip archive. once you open it , display properties will open up, you want to go to the appearance tab, and then choose the desired colour from the colour scheme drop down menu. as to the backgrounds, i just search around sites for them. I got all of those from this one really good site, but i completely forget what it is called, it's really good it has themes for mac xp, and a bunch of walls in varying resolutions - i just forget what it is called, but i will post the link once i remember.

	report drames says: oh snap i remember!!! INTERFACELIFT not the easiest site name to remember but still its an awesome site. Now every time i forget ill just search up this theme and come to this site!!! Sun, Jun 22nd at 10:54am (3 months ago)
	report drames says: A lot of people are having probs with this theme, b/c they've never installed a non-MS theme before, and this is a non-microsoft theme, although i can see why some would think it is. Just install this patch here, and reboot, and you'll be fine: http://www.msfn.org/board/redirect.php?u rl=http%3A%2F%2Fdamian666.boot-land.ne t%2Fcounters%2Fclick.php%3Fid%3D10 Thu, Jul 24th at 01:27pm (2 months ago)
