Windows Zune theme on Server 2003
Tuesday January 20, 2009
People sometimes flutter past my work desk, casually asking if I’ve somehow circumvented policy or engaged in other illegal shennanigans at FluffyCorp (a suitable moniker forthe institution I work under), a question provoked when they see the state of my desktop.
Since it’s a pretty sweet looker, I’ve replicated it at home this evening…
Not to be scoffed at, this isn’t an incarnation of vista or photoshop voodoo. It’s the Zune XP theme theme running on Windows 2003.
Since Zune is designed purely for XP, the MSI installer comes with a few restrictions, which I duly removed.
Steps to victory:
1. Enable Themes Service
2. Download and install the modified MSI File
3. Use the theme.

Sweet! Thank you! I am running Windows Home Sever (basically Windows 2003 Server) and really wanted the black theme back for my desktop. Worked Gret!

I have a question:
I can’t install that msi file, notes that is a bad file…

Thanks for that
I switched PC’s to one running server 03 and was missing the relaxed colors.
