themes.rar commentary

Naming oddities
  • The "Aurorarion Darkside XP", "FatalE", "ProBLU", "Nexus", "OpusOS", "Peony", "Sentinel", "v1p3", "Vienna-Xp", "War3ORC", "WHMxII", "Wood", and "XoddX" themes are just visual styles, without a .theme file attached. Unlike the others, the "XoddX" theme has its visual style in a subfolder.
  • The "betti", "BLACKICE", "GloWorm", "Golden", "LeopardX", "PlaceMonk", "DzartPAL", "Safari", "Warcraft", "XTS" and "Grey" themes are all packaged in their own folder, which contain their .theme file and a subfolder with the msstyles along with everything else.
  • The "fares", "orb", "rainy" and "venom" visual styles are orphans. They do not possess any other external assets.
  • Several themes have wrong casing/alternate names/been misspelled/mislabeled (this is for the packaged themes):
    • betti = Betti
    • black ice = BLACKICE
    • Fatale = FATALE
    • flash blue = ProBlue = ProBLU
    • new gold theme art fares = PlaceMonk
    • pal = PAL = DzartPAL
    • safari = Safari
    • Sentinel X = Sentinel
    • xdox = XoddX
    • zuneeee = Zune = Grey

= Commentary on the themes themselves

  • The "rainy" and "venom" msstyles are broken. Trying to apply them will both result in a "Theme exceeds allowed size" error. To apply them successfully, reselect their color scheme and click "Apply". The themes are both based on the Luna theme's Silver color scheme, therefore they load assets from there.
  • The "BLACKICE" and "PlaceMonk" themes' sound paths point to sounds from a foreign version of Windows.
  • The "LeopardX" theme has a wallpaper, but its .theme file does not use it.

Bootleg quirks

  • The Normal Select and Help Select cursors are set to their stock Windows Default Black variant, while all the other cursors are Ubuntu themed.
  • There are 49 deleted wallpapers in the wallpaper's thumbnail cache.

CD contents and other info

  • The CD label is set to "xxxp".

Gallery

Themes

themes.rar

These are the themes from themes.rar. Most of the themes do not have theme files, so if you see the default theme's wallpaper, it isn't from the theme itself. To view the commentary for this theme pack, see Notes section.
