Give Windows XP Pro a Media Center Edition 2005 Facelift

[tipstir]

It works great just...

1. download http://www.brucebeh.com/XPEnergyBlue2.exe
2. install
3. change the boring XP Pro skin theme to MCE 2005 theme

Some screenshots might convince people to download/install it rather then linking to _some_ executable on _some_ website.

I've ran the above on 3 XP Pro laptops so far the the Default Blue Bliss on XP Pro to change be changed manally to Energy Blue theme using Desktop Theme to what I see on my MCE 2005 desktop themes.. That site doesn't have screenshots... It took a while to figure where the download was as most links I did trace were dead...

The theme you have installed is the Royale theme. Techspot has it in it`s download section HERE. As far as I`m aware, the version we have is a newer version than the one in your link.

If it's simply the MCE theme for Windows XP it's available from TechSpot. There's even the black Zune version.

You'll agree that those sources are less "shady".

*edit* Damn you quick typing Howard!!!!

Don't see much of difference between what you have and what I have downloaded. MCE 2005 SP2 looks like what's now on the XP Pro laptops. One thing for sure at least the old Bliss Blue is gone

Yes I know you have a download section, but I thought that was more for drivers... Thanks for the heads up----
