But I figured out how to change that.

1. Download and install the actual Windows Royale theme.

2. Download the Royale Noir theme, and extract it to the C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\royale noir\ folder

3. Go to C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\ and open the Royale.Theme file in a text editor

4. Go to the [Visual Styles] section

5. Change the line "Path=%WinDir%resources\Themes\Royale\Royale.msstyles" to Path=%WinDir%resources\Themes\royale noir\luna.msstyles

6. Save and exit.

After that, you should be able to consistently select the Royale Noir theme from the apperances section.
