Apply the theme never released officially by Microsoft
During Royale's development (the XP Media Center theme), the graphic artists also produced a black version of the skin, sans the overused "glass" effect. The result was an aesthetic black skin that was named �Royale Noir� and that even works with Office 2003.
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.
Later edit - modded theme
"This mod grew from a finishing Royale Noir project to encompass Zune bug fixing as well.
If you are a fan of Microsoft's Royale, this is the only Royale theme you will ever need.
The theme now consists of 3 color schemes, Royale, Royale Noir and Royale Zune.
For Royale Noir, Microsoft came 50% of the way, and I went the other 50%, a lot of work and bugfixes was done to finish the theme.
For Zune, work was done to better the distasteful orange and many bugfixes implemented that Microsoft messed up."
