webmedic
I send you private massege do you read it
this uxtheme.dl_ is 6.00.2800.1106 (xpsp1.020828-1920)
you can put this file in \i386 and burn the CD
no CD_Ejector.vbs
no problem at all

Sep 8 2003, 10:53 AM
email me the file or send a link for DL and I will post it on my HTTP space.
BTW has anyone tested this thing yet?

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

just a thought.

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!

what exactly does this uxtheme.dl thing do? Has to do with themes, but what exactly!?!?? :/
Unwonted
Sep 8 2003, 05:31 PM
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.

Sep 8 2003, 08:34 PM
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!

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.

I'm a little late on posting, but I agree that this hacked dll works flawlessly.

Sep 10 2003, 04:17 AM
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
Sep 10 2003, 06:14 AM
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

Yes, it can be used on the cd with no problems.......so far

Sep 10 2003, 11:33 AM
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
Sep 10 2003, 11:37 AM
thanks. Thats interesting that something that small would make the difference. Wonder who that guy is and were he came from.
Paul 365
Sep 10 2003, 12:29 PM
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.

Sep 12 2003, 03:54 PM
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
Everything else in the batch file works too. Can someone look at my batch and winnt.sif file:

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.
