I put it on my laptop. Seems to work fine. Looks nice, I like it.

If you believe the digital signing for the luna.msstyles file it does indeed
appear to be from Microsoft.

I did not install it on my MCE computer. (saw your post there) I don't make
changes on that one for cosmetic purposes.

Supposedly it was, but I believe there is a good reason for them to keep it
secret.
I put it on a newly imaged pc to see what it looked like and it was kind of
cool for a while. Then I started dinking around with it because that's what
I do. At one point, very early in the dinking around stage, I changed it to
classic style. Everything except the icons went black, even in safe mode. I
couldn't do anything to change it back because I couldn't see anything but
icons. If I clicked on an icon, I couldn't see the result, so it was
impossible to make any changes. I ended up logging on as administrator and
doing a system restore. I won't be recommending that theme to anyone I know,
although I suppose it could be a fun practical joke to play on someone who
likes tinkering with their desktop.

Ok I switch to classic style several times and never had any issue at all.

Well, that is very good for you and I wish you continued good luck with it.
If the issue should arise, just remember system restore.

I installed this, but every time I restart my computer, XP reverts back
to Windows Classic, forcing me to go into the Themes folder and
double-click on the noir theme again. Anyone know why it won't stay
put after a restart? I installed just as I did the other themes.

thanks
