Description:
- These addons directly integrate themes created by Microsoft for use with Windows XP.
- Info links:
- Embedded Theme from “Windows Embedded Standard CTP Refresh.”
- Includes ShellStyle.dll from Embedded Enhanced 1.1 by leosss to correct "lots of bugs, unfinished parts and bad colours details." The accompanying Embedded.MSStyles file is not signed by Microsoft and contains enhancements that are not bugfixes; it is not included.
- Energy Blue Theme Pack from Kelsenellenelvian's True Royale Addon. (Includes the Bliss screensaver.)
- Royale Noir from Kelsenellenelvian's Royale Noir addon. (My wallpaper is default, but includes Kel's as well. Windows Aero Shadow mouse pointers are default.)
- Tablet PC Style adapted from MrNxDmX's Tablet PC Style Energy Blue Theme Addon Pack with WMP10 Skin & Fedora Inverse. (The addon name says it all. The WMP10 skin works with WMP11 as well.)
- Zune Theme from ricktendo64's Zune Theme addon (with the correct installation paths).
- Windows Aero Shadow mouse pointer scheme from Windows Vista.
- Embedded Theme from “Windows Embedded Standard CTP Refresh.”
- Intended for Windows XP.
- Do not require a patched UXTheme.dll file. These themes are signed by Microsoft.
- Tested in VMware Server 1.0.8.
- Integrates with RyanVM Integrator 1.6 and nLite 1.4.9.1 (or later versions of either).

- I had not intended to share this, but there does appear to be some interest in it; so here it is. I only plan to add signed themes to this pack as they become available to me.
My thanks and appreciation go to Kelsenellenelvian and ricktendo64 for giving me permission to release this pack based on their fine works. Thanks also to MrNxDmX for allowing me to have creative license with his themes.
