snakerboy - quite probably. There have been several Royale “inspired” styles released - check out either deviantArt or the neoWin forums for several more. Me? I’m using Royale Inspirat at the moment. Sometimes Reluna. All good and free! (Make sure you get the patched DLL and you don’t even need StyleXP!)
