Energy Blue Theme

  • Article

Want a better looking desktop theme?  Microsoft a while back released a theme called Energy Blue or Royal.  I was first introduced to it via the Experience Pack for Tablet PC.  Well it turns out that theme doesn't just work on a tablet pc but XP as well, here's how:

  1. Download : https://download.microsoft.com/download/5/2/9/5295FA0C-575A-4EE6-B186-0A8CF7DDFDE6/WindowsXP-TabletPC-EnergyBlueTheme-x86-ENU.exe
  2. Do not run the exe as it will fail but rather unzip it
  3. Copy the content to C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes
  4. Select the Energy Blue theme from the theme drop down @ "Right Click on Desktop / Select Properties / Themes Tab"

Enjoy!

    Tried unzipping the linked file but it does not appear to be a .zip file ?

    Running it tells me it must be run on a tablet.

    Any thoughts?  Thanks.

    I used WinZip to unpack it.  I will update the post with a zipped version.
