"Luna" ( the Moon in Latin and various other languages) is the codename for the default visual style of Windows XP. Nevertheless, the API remained heavily underdocumented. The visual styles API was substantially expanded in Windows Vista and later. Visual styles are compatible with all Windows XP editions except Starter Edition.Ĭompared to previous versions of Windows, the new styles have a greater emphasis on the graphical appeal of the operating system, using saturated colors and bitmaps throughout the interface, with rounded corners for windows. Third parties have also released visual styles, though these require modification of core Windows components to work. In addition to the preinstalled visual styles, Microsoft has released additional ones for download. By default, "Luna" is preinstalled on Windows XP Home and Professional editions, "Royale" is preinstalled on Windows XP Media Center Edition and "Embedded" is preinstalled Windows Embedded Standard 2009 and Windows Embedded POSReady 2009.
Since Windows XP, themes include the choice of visual styles as well. "Luna", "Royale", "Zune", and "Embedded" are codenames of the official visual styles designed for Windows XP by Microsoft. Windows XP visual styles are customizations of the graphical user interface of Windows XP.
