Was it some sort of hexedit you did on it?

If you can PM me maybe with how u did it i might be able to apply it to the UXTHEME.DLL for Win2k3 myself smile.gif just a thought.
webmedic
man this will simplify things allot. I'll make it available for everybody.
leo2003

gamehead200
Aaron, add this to the unattended install page... newwink.gif
Aaron
I will, there's a lot that needs updating on the site, but haven't got the time yet
Traveling_Ninja
Since you did it with the uxtheme.dll file, then perhaps you can do it with hotfixes eliminating the need to install Pre-SP2 hotfixes from a batch..

Tell us how!
ceez
what exactly does this uxtheme.dl thing do? Has to do with themes, but what exactly!?!?? :/
Unwonted
UXTHEME.dll, when hacked, allows you to use unsigned themes (like the ones that are default in WinXP), so all you have to do is unzip the theme to
%systemroot%\Resources\Themes, then you can select it from the "Appearance" menu.

SFC_OS.DLL...the "Holy Grail" of Windows files to crack.

webmedic
I'm still curious how he got the the uxtheme.dll to work? Either he cracked the digital signature or? It's that or part that is interesting since I dont think he seriously cracked the digital sig. You know though I wonder if the digiatl sig can be faked somehow. Oh well htis will save me much much work trying to get the cd yanked during graphical install was killing me.

So does this mean I can download themes from those other skinner 3rd party apps and use their skins without the apps. WindowsXP will be able to read and apply correctly?

if so, interesting...once more! yes.gif

sweet s***. I like that
webmedic
yes it does.

You can use the ones written for StyleXP. Check www.ThemeXP.org

I don't think you can use the ones made for progs like WindowsBlinds or whatever it's called.
Bachus
I'm a little late on posting, but I agree that this hacked dll works flawlessly. biggrin.gif
ssapeutfout
Ok, i'm the first to say it works great.
But in fact i'm facing another connected problem...
In my unattented Cd, on first boot in "useable" windows, theme service is disabled... I must enable or wait for a reboot to get my skin showing... why?
Aaron
hmm. The theme service is enabled by default. Check your registry tweaks file to see if you added a theme service disable key by accident, or you probably used a DefaultThemesOff = Yes in the [Shell] section in winnt.sif
Thanatos
Like webmedic said, didi you crack the digital signiture so it can be used on the xp CD?
Paul 365
Yes, it can be used on the cd with no problems.......so far biggrin.gif
webmedic
yea it's the so far part. What if next wednesday after a full moon your computer blows up and aliens come out.

If you've got and Alienware PC, that might be normal. =P
Paul 365
I just ran a beyond compare between the uxtheme.dll extrracted from this file and the one installed on my pc and patched in the normal!! way.

There is a very small 2 character change, i dont now what that is but its so small i doubt there could be anything dodgy in it.
webmedic
thanks. Thats interesting that something that small would make the difference. Wonder who that guy is and were he came from.
Paul 365
No the difference will be in the .dl_ file not in the extracted .dll as its not the compressed uxtheme.dll that is signed but the cab (.dl_) file itself...(theory)

I ran that check to see if the uxteme.dll could be poison. When you compare it to a cleam ms uxtheme.dll there is alot of changes.

As for the clean uxtheme.dl_ and the magic one i havent done that - ill give it a go.
Yazoo
Hello, I am having a few problems with this uxtheme.dl_

I copied it to the i386 folder, overwriting the old one, but when I install it doesn't work. I get the classic style only. Also the control panel for ATI catalyst 3.7 doesn't install, but the drivers do. Also the restarting bit at the end doesn't work either sad.gif
Everything else in the batch file works too. Can someone look at my batch and winnt.sif file:

COPY "%systemdrive%\Install\Tools\psshutdown.exe" "%systemroot%\"

i think that should be "%systemroot%\system32" for it to be included in the path

But why are you copying this file along with all the theme stuff? Why not place them all in -
$OEM$\$$\system32 and
$OEM$\$$\Themes and let the text setup part of the install copy them for you.
webmedic
exactly paul. I stuff all kinds of little progies in there and just forget about them. It's agreat place for them to be.
