    I guess I had some time on my hands so I created a few themes, hope you all like them. If anyone wants a copy of my dll file of the theme they like, let me know. The shot that looks like inside a movie theatre is the, I used it inside of mce (all of them are like that), I change the main background for all of them, enjoy.

    Yeah, that one is pretty awesome. It looks like it's from the game Prototype...

    Edit: Here's what I'm using now. Usually not into colorful things, but this is pretty rad.

    Except Alex Mercer was male lol. Those lips look a lot more female than male....

    I am thinking that is a thief from an RPG....

    These are some quality customizations, folks. I am gonna try a new one by myself after I get the RTM installed tomorrow. It'll be a surprise....

    Zay, that movie theater one is simply incredible - I am very surprised that M$ didn't think of doing something like that themselves....and you've just given *me* an idea now...

    Wow thanks for the feedback guys. All of them have the movie theatre scene in it. Just change the common background.png and that will change the inside background. The common animated background.png, changes the main intro screen for mce. Here are the dll files:
    this is the one with the face in it: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/976813/ehres-face.dll
    remember to rename the files back to ehres.dll before pasting them to the ehome folder
    Here is the batman one: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/976813/ehres-batman.dll
    Here is the other batman one (the wings): http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/976813/eh...an%20wings.dll
    Once again thanks for the feedback guys.

    Zay, you rock.

    Now, correct me if I am wrong - but these are pre-built .DLLs, so I ust rename, take ownership of the original, and replace and run WMC?

    I took ownership and now I have TDK for my WMC. However, I'd *really* like to figure out where that theater view you have comes into play. Is that a different ehres.dll?

    nm. I figured it out. Now to make my Media theater use that theater image all the time.

    Muhahahahaha!

    Thanks john, if you like I can make one with the theatre scene be the intro background for you. Or would you prefer I send you the png? On second thought here are the pngs of two that I have used.
    Theatre scene 1: http://dl.**********.com/u/976813/Im...BACKGROUND.png
    scene 2: http://dl.**********.com/u/976813/Im..._theatre-2.jpg
    You can use them both if you like in the same theme. One can be the intro background, and the other can be within mce.
