"CabLib Compress ERROR: Could not create FCI context: The filename of the CAB file must NEVER contain Unicode characters!"
Can someone maybe take a look at the theme and see if it's possible to fix? Am I able to link it here?
The answer is in your question:
The filename of the CAB file must NEVER contain Unicode characters!Simply (manually) retype the theme texts (the problem is in some of the texts inside the cab).
Uncab, rename, cab again.
I use tugzip 3.5 it's free and have a .cab option

Thanks @LordWarlock I'm aware about your post, but this is my first Topic and I wanted to be more simple and useable for begginers. Between, you explained that for me

I was looking for a tool for making bootscreen background, trying to add my background in bootscreen (NTOSKRNL.exe), and finally with a help of my friend @wolfcall (who is also a member here) we found how to make original background like in MS NTOSKRNL.exe file (BMP 1 and BMP 4 as most important for Windows XP Professional).
Unlike some people I know from forums, I want to share my effort with YOU.
I was trying to edit that background with 16 colours 4 bit palette in Photoshop, but everytime failed.
I tried with Windows "Paint" and I succeed but I needed to make painting (dot by dot) manually and at the end I had working background but visible in ResHack or PE Explorer or other editing tools unlike MS's non-visible with mentioned tools.
Last night I found that using TuneUp Utilities can make the original like MS's background without much effort
In the folowing tutorial, I'll try to explain the step-by-step how to make the bootscreen like you desire.
01. Download and install "TuneUP Utilities 2009"
02. Start the program and select "Customize Windows"
03. From a "TuneUP Styler" menu, select "Change boot screen"
04. You can see now the Windows default boot screen (active) (ntoskrnl.exe). We are ready to make our own background
05. Click on "New Screen" and by clicking "Open image" select your favourite (background) BMP or JPG image
06. At "Customize progress bar" select the position of border (if you don't want to change the position leave it default) and the colour of the moving stripe
07. "Save boot screen" with the name you want
08. Select the boot screen you just made (selected by default) and click install
09. Now open the folder C:\WINDOWS\system32 and search for file named "TUKernel.exe" and copy it to the desktop
10. Return to folder C:\WINDOWS\system32 and search for file named "ntoskrnl.exe" and rename it to something else (Old.exe for example) and cut/paste it to desktop
11. Rename the TUKernel.exe file to ntoskrnl.exe and paste in into C:\WINDOWS\system32 folder
12. Return to TuneUP Utilities, set the Windows default boot screen as active and delete the new maden (by you) boot screen
13. Reboot and delete the "Old.exe" file from desktop after reboot
For those who want to use TuneUP Utilities and don't want to waste their time, consider step 9 to 13 unessential.
For those who want to "practice" go to the step 13
This method is tested on Windows XP Professional SP3 with ntoskrnl.exe 5657 version and will work for desktops and laptops. It will also work with 5512 version unless you update.
P.S.: TuneUP Utilities uses the original ntoskrnl.exe and modify the file with your background image and create it's own file named "TUKernel".
Here is a link of boot screen (step-by-step illustration jpg's included) I made it from my favourite Panther pic:

I had and have the same problem, and I soleved that by manually installing uxtheme patcher application. I was wondering a lot of times what was the problem with the classic theme style untill I didn't tryied manually patching the uxtheme. But that doesn't makes me happy. By the way after nLite, I add a patched uxtheme compressed file, so I have another wonder, could that be the reason of uxtheme patching?
Any help is very welcome

Boot Screen Background (Creating And Changing)
in LogonUI & Boot Screens
Posted
Hi johnhc,
First I want to wish you a Happy New Year and to the rest of the MSFN Members
.
Answer to both questions:
TuneUp DOES NOT change NTOSKRNL.exe. It copy the NTOSKRNL and rename the copy to TUKernel.exe . That's the reason you couldn't find any changes to NTOSKRNL.exe. So no changes to the original NTOSKRNL.exe. and that's why I suggested to replace the original NTOSKRNL.exe .
It's also safe that way I've described, but LordWarlock's suggestion is even better, because Microsoft releases too many hotfixes recently, which may alter the modified NTOSKRNL.exe.
And how the image placed in TUKernel.exe? I guess TuneUP Utilities has their own 16colours palette with 4 bit colour depth, editor, integrated.
I hope I help you
,
P.S.: Ask again if I missed something.
And yes I want to share my experience
