the theme has a small bug which is the reason the “related-tasks” side-bar isn’t skinned. Follow the instructions here http://www.skattertech.com/200.....une-theme/ to fix the problem if you have already installed it.
It only takes about 10 seconds to, just involves moving files to a different folder.

There is no “Common Tasks” sidebar skin, but “Search” sidebar skinned! Very strange…

[...] Ã–sszesÃ©gÃ©ben jobban tetszik a Royale Noir. ElsÅ‘ rÃ¡nÃ©zÃ©sre annyi vÃ¡ltozÃ¡s van ebben, hogy narancssÃ¡rga a start-menÃ¼ (ez nagyon idegesÃtÅ‘ tud lenni, mert narancssÃ¡rgÃ¡n a messenger Ã¼zenetek szoktak villogni, Ã©s mindig azthiszem hogy Ã¼zenet jÃ¶tt), az inaktÃv ablakok kevÃ©sbÃ© feketÃ©k, Ã©s az Office 2003 lila helyett most szÃ¼rke lett, az meg nem nÃ©z tÃºl jÃ³l ki Ãºgy. SÅ‘t az ablakok felsÅ‘ rÃ©sze is beszÃ¼rkÃ¼lt itt, Ãgy sokkal sÃ¶tÃ©tebb lett a IE, Maxthon, Firefox, stb. VÃ¡ltok is vissza Royale Noir-ra. EgyÃ©bkÃ©nt innen van az eredeti hÃr. [...]

You’re switching back to the Royale Noir or the standard blue theme?

You shouldn’t apply this theme via Display Properties / Themes (this window appears automatically at the end of theme installation).
Instead, press [Cancel], and go to Display Properties / Appearance, and select “Zune Style” theme. This way, it will not change your wallpaper.

BTW, i’m working with this theme for some hours now, and I found it pretty comfortable. (I’m usually VERY critical about XP themes). This theme is good, IMHO, better than “Royale noir”.

It also appears to have got rid of the leaked version and also has changed my desktop. Not something I appreciate.

Wait a minute, the “Common Tasks” WAS skinned in “Royale Noir - Black”. So why it is gone in the final version?

At last, those inactive window titles are NOT absolutely black (unlike unofficial “Royale Noir”). That’s good.

But orange Start button looks a little wired. Because ORANGE color on XP taskbar is usually used for flashing updated windows. So, orange Start button attracts my attention too much.
Also, Windows Explorer sidebar (a.k.a. “Common Tasks”) still NOT skinned. It looks exactly like in “Windows Classic” theme.
