I've been using the Royale Windows XP theme (the one that comes with XP Media Center Edition) on all my XP (MCE and Pro) machines for a while now. I just found (via Digg) that there's another variation of the Royale theme available -- Royale Noir. In classic Digg fashion, it's sensationalized as a "hidden XP theme." Whatever its history is, it looks cool. I haven't bothered to dig up screenshots to compare, but it looks very much like the black theme that will come with Vista.
You can download the theme here. I just took the RAR version available from multiple links/mirrors from the Digg article, and re-compressed it as ZIP for those of you who don't have PowerArchiver/WinRAR/etc. The installation instructions (which, by the way, are not from me) are included in the zip file.
(By the way -- the background image in my screenshots is my dog Sydney -- and it doesn't come with the theme.)
