Energy Bliss (Royale) Theme

On Tuesday, Microsoft released the official Media Center 2005 theme for Tablet PC Edition 2005, called Energy Bliss. To many PC customization enthusiasts, it is known as Royale, which recently has become a trendy style in the Windows skinning community. Many artists or skinners have ported this visual style, and many others have released their personal mods based on the original one.

At first, I got the news from NeoWin. But what you get from the download link is an executable file, designed to install the theme on a tablet PC. In order to make it usable in a regular PC, one needs to utilize WinRAR to extract the content of the file, and then sort through all the shell files. Yes, it is troublesome and it is a hassle!

I was lucky enough to get a ready-to-use zip file version, so I want to post it here to share with everyone. Since it is an official Microsoft theme, therefore there is no patching or hacking involved. Simply unzip the file and dump the content in WINDOWS –> Resources –> Themes, and you are ready to apply the theme to your XP. Now enjoy everyone!

Download linkage will not be unbroken indefinitely.

Update: File and download link removed! If you still need the file, please request it in the comment area of this post.
