Themes for Microsoft Office 2003

**Adamaris** · 20-06-2009

I am still using MS Office 2003 on Windows XP. I have tried many mod Royale themes on my Xp and they look nice. Once i wanted to change the theme of my Office 2003 and one of my friend has suggested me to use Luna theme. i used and it changes even office 2003's background colour. I found it interesting for me. So i wanted to know is there any Royale theme out there to do the same thing ? Or please let me know any way to change the Office 2003. Thanks in advance.

You can also make the Royale theme to work similar as Luna did. For that you need to do some workaround. First of all make sure you have the luna's theme applied to the office and you have Original Mod Royale theme on your computer's theme folder. Now go to the C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\Royale and rename the Royale.msstyles file to Luna.msstyles.

Now open the Royale Theme file with a Notepad program from the Themes directory and scroll down until you see the path for the msstyles file. Once you find it, change the end file name to match the file you just renamed (Luna.msstyles). The line you should edit should be right under the "[VisualStyles]" heading. When done, just save the file.

You are done.Now go to the Display properties and select Themes tab. Apply the Royale theme. It will now change the Office 2003 background colors as well.
