Let me know what you think... It's named Expedition In the Theme's folder ;) It's in .mct format for use with Media Center Studio.

That look like a really nice theme. It seems you have a handle on the UI for WMC . Is it possible to change the audio thats played when MC opens. I really hate it lol. maybe some metallica or something.

I know how to change the pictures, and backgrounds. I haven't tried changing sounds yet. I'll look into it and let you know though.

Lol, I just turned off the Media Center fanfare... my pc goes straight to the start menu now. I was initially annoyed by it, and then warmed up to it, then I just got bored of it.

Yep-- pretty simple really. You need to replace the "INTRO_A.WAV" file located in the C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehres.dll.
Use 7zip to open "C:\Windows\ehome\ehres.dll\.rsrc\RCDATA\" and replace INTRO_A.WAV with whatever you want.. MUST be in WAV format though.
