Frequently Asked Questions:
---------------------------
Q: Help! There's so many files here, which one do I download?
A: The only essential file to get the theme is Royale Remixed Theme v1.46 Final windows installer. After this has been installed, you can choose to download and install any of the following patches under
'For Royale Noir colour scheme only'. Installing any one of the patch will overwrite any previously installed patch, so it's a mutually exclusive scenario.
Q: After installing the theme, my desktop only display the classic windows?
A: Because this is not an official desktop theme made by Microsoft, a modified uxtheme.dll system file is needed to use this theme. Simply follow the link provided (or
here) to download the Uxtheme Multi-Patcher 5.0 or Universal Theme Patcher 2.1 (
here), run it and follow the instructions to guide you through the process.
Q: I get an error message while installing Uxtheme Multi-patcher saying Windows NT setup files are detected in c:\windows\i386?
A: There are 2 reasons for this, the first, you didn't read the instruction carefully telling you not to insert your windows CD when prompted. The second, your OEM system comes with system files backed up in windows\i386 folder. This folder acts as the windows CD when system files need to be copied over, it is non-essential for the operation of the system. Renaming it or moving it someplace else ie burning onto a CD etc, should enable you to patch your uxtheme.dll.
Q: I can't patch uxtheme using the patchers?
A: If none of the patchers work for you, then you have to replace uxtheme.dll manually. Refer to this
link for instructions and downloads of various uxtheme.dll for your windows XP version.
Q: I can't install the theme on my x64 machine?
A: There are 2 installers provided, one for 32bit machines and another for x64. Download the one labelled
'(x64 Installer)'.
Q: I can't install the theme on my 32bit machine?
A: Refer to the question above.
Q: I've patched my uxtheme.dll using the Multi-patcher on my x64 machine but it still displays the windows classic desktop?
A: If you are running Windows XP x64, you need to patch 2 uxtheme.dll. Refer to the instructions in this
post.
Q: I've installed the theme but I get an error message telling me my themes service is not running?
A: You need to enable the themes service, note that Windows Server 2003 has the themes service turned off by default. Follow the same instructions for both Windows XP and Server 2003 in the link
here.
Q: After applying the skin, the program MATLAB quits on error at startup?
A: MATLAB seems to have issues with drawing the MATLAB desktop with unsigned Windows themes. Here is a
workaround:
