So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

I tried it, it works and it's beautiful. Dumb as this might sound, it almost seems like I got an OS upgrade. Made XP look way more modern. So thanks.

Quite nice but I don't think it has anything on Luna Element Black

Finally, a decent looking WinXP without that stupid green start button. What were they thinking?

If you install Royale Noir - Does Firefox (and/or other apps) inherit the style?
I'm running FF with Royale - but I had to download a theme called Outlook Blue to make FireFox look the same as the rest of the OS.
I also had to do something funky with the install of Royale to make Outlook inherit all the blue gradients. So I am wondering if anyone has tried Royale Noir out and how well it does at integrating into the OS.

Great find. I just loaded it up on my work machine. It really does make it look better. Like Rob, however, I wish it would change more of the colors to match the overall theme. Outlook does look kind of strange. After spending so much time learning and customising my ubuntu desktop, It is kind of nice that I can make XP look better.

Royale Noir makes XP look very similar to the default WMP 11 skin - I like it!

great post .. love the theme
@Daz, Luna Element Black is pretty slick but I _really_ hate what it does to the ListView control in explorer.
should have a topic of favourite XP themes ;)

Microsoft Zune Theme for Windows XP 1.0
This is a special Windows XP Theme from Microsoft designed to look like its new Zune portable media player. This is an official skin for Windows XP that has a dark grey style and orange Start menu.

@Rob Usdin: The theme will change the title bar of Firefox, but the rest of the FF chrome is determined by which Firefox theme you're using. To go with the new orange Start button, I recommend Orange Shift (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2296/). It's not yet compatible with Firefox 2, but an update is in the works.
