    Often called the "Media Center" look before Media Center existed, the Silver theme swapped the cartoonish blue for a brushed metal, silver-gray aesthetic. It looked more "professional" than the default blue but retained the rounded corners and the iconic Start button. For many power users, Silver was the compromise between "pretty" and "business-like."

    In 2006, Microsoft launched the Zune music player (their failed iPod killer). To promote it, they released an "official" black theme for Windows XP called Zune Desktop Theme. Technically a variant of Royale, "Royale Noir" swapped the blue for jet black and orange highlights. It turned the taskbar pitch black with a subtle gradient. This theme is legendary because it proved Microsoft could do a dark mode a decade before it was cool. Luna Olive Green
