This theme features the artwork of Javier Ocasio of StudioTwentyEight with a piece titled “Bokeh”. This theme for Media Center by the same name prominently features the work and is laid on a foundation of Astrotoy7’s Black theme. For those interested in using the background on their regular desktop can download the background images from DeviantArt.
Special thanks to Javier Ocasio of StudioTwentyEight for permission to use his work for this theme.

Wow! Is this stylish or what!?
I’ve just discovered theme7mc.com (thanks to a post on Hack7MC.com) and can’t wait to get home tonight and update my HTPC with this beautiful new theme.
This is beautiful…Good work.
However I do have some suggestions if you dont mind.
The background image is too sharp, it makes the white text in front hard to read. Maybe you could blur it down a little.
Also, the background in the menu’s header seems to be out of proportion. I would suggest a regular black background for the menu header since it makes the screen look cleaner.
Nice concept, but the BG is too bold. Makes the menu’s hard to read…Need to dull down the background or reduce its opacity and it would look sweet…
I’ll definitely consider those suggestions when I go back to revise this theme. This was something of a quick mock-up that I produced out of a boredom with the themes I had been using previously.
@Ken which area’s menu appears out of proportion for you and what resolution do you run at?
Tried to install this and got “invalid patch data”
have installed homeworld ok but this and the black theme won’t install??
@sidthecat are you running RC1 or an older version of the Beta? Both the black theme and this one are design specifically with RC1 in mind.
wow thanks

Thanks a lot. It works also in the Linksys DMA 2200 Media Center Extender.
really like it
but i agree with what others have said the background is too sharp, abit to hard to read the text, when this is fixed will definitely use on main mediacenter
Need a bit of help, the ehres.dll file says it cannot be overwritten..
Thoughts?
@carl You probably need to take ownership of the ehres.dll file, you can find instructions and a download to do that here. You should also try running the patch after a fresh restart before Media Center is run.
Nice artwork – but have to agree the background is too prominent – need to be toned down / more transparency and it would be perfect
Look forward to the next revision….
it’s pretty good!
Please, please, please revise this theme to make the background less prominent. This is a gorgeous theme and will benefit so much from a slight revision as per the comments above..
please fix this theme as described, text is hard to read due to sharpness of background image!
will this work with Vista Media Center ?
Really Nice! Good Job!
试试看,可惜背景不可以动
This site is awesome, thanks sooo much i normally don’t use windows media player b/c i cant stand its scheme.. but thanks to this… i love it
Wow, awesome theme.. My only gripe is the same as everyone else, the background is a little too sharp and some of the menus cant be seen.
Has this been updated ?
Congrats to the author, my favorite theme by far ?!!!
And again thanks to theme7mc.com and Hack7MC.com for 2 awesome sites.
I hope the creator won’t mind, but I edited his images and ‘dulled’ down the appearance a bit.
@MichaelHealy please feel free to remove my comment / link as you see fit.
No harm was intended, just making your wonderful contribution a bit better.
I’ve uploaded the ehres.dll to free rapidshare account – the link won’t last long so it may need to be re-posted. Just download and extract the file and place in C:\Windows\ehome\
Use at your own risk and remember to make a backup first!
