Hi, I dont know about the OEM Logo but if you want to replace the default desktop wallpaper of a custom installation you should check out this thread i made when I had the same problem:- http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=129722

Thankyou, Problem Solved!

O.k I just tried adding NewBliss.bmp to $OEM$\$$\resources\themes (same folder as Modified Royale.theme) and then mounted it again n still no difference, I really hope some1 can help me sort this out its so annoying, everything else is perfect just not the Bl**dy Background Wallpaper!! Oh yea and thankyou to every1 who has helped so far

O.k so I made another nLite project from scratch and integrated the Modified Royale.theme through nLite. after finishing the process I thought I'd also manually change the WINNT.SIF file to - CustomDefaultThemeFile = "%WinDir%\Resources\Themes\Modified Royale.theme - but luckily it had already been changed by nLite so I left it as it was. I then copied the Modified Royale.theme to $OEM$\$$\resources\themes and made the .iso and mounted into a virtual pc and it still installs with a plain darkblue background. Do I have to copy the NewBliss.bmp into the $OEM$\$$\resources\themes folder or the $OEM$\$$\Web\Wallpaper folder? or neither? because I really dont want to keep starting nLite projects from scratch

Thankyou Kelsenellenelvian I have finially created the theme with everything that i would like on it and saved it to the desktop, I cant believe it was that easy! Can I use nLite to intergrate the theme or do I have to do this process Thankyou both 4 all of your help I think i'll try the above and see how it goes, and can I just say I am amazed at how quickly you both replied, I've asked questions in forums before but usually have to wait for a least 3-5days

Hi thanks for the quick reply but i still dont understand, how do i edit a theme? i have the royale theme (royale.theme + royale.msstyle + Shell) installed on my laptop (WINDOWS\Resourses\Themes) but i dont know how to edit the file so that a different background is applied?? do i have to have some special software to add the default background to the theme, then save it as a new theme, then load that theme into nLite?? Could you walk me through step-by-step how you configure a theme? i have tried editing in notepad but all seems abit crazy and i dont wanna start playing around and mess everything up. Oh yea! does anybody know why I dont have all folder that im suppose to have inside the $OEM$ folder?? Any additional help would be great! Thanks to any1 kind enough to help.

Hi, I have recently been playing around with nLite in an attemp to try to trim down my XP pro SP2 installation and mainly to make a fully unattended setup, and so far everythings been o.k..........untill now! I have successfully installed a fully unattended trimmed down version of XP (with the default theme changed to Royale via nLite) but everytime the setup finishes it loads with a blue background instead of the newBliss.bmp that should be loaded with the royale theme. I have tried searching and found this: http://www.msfn.org/board/lofiversion/index.php/t78095.html - and the post that 'oneless' posts says ;Change the Default Wallpaper to the one you want [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Desktop\General] "BackupWallpaper"="c:\\windows\\web\\wallpaper\\Windows XP SP2.bmp" "Wallpaper"="c:\\windows\\web\\wallpaper\\Windows XP SP2.bmp" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop] "TileWallpaper"="0" "Wallpaper"="C:\\WINDOWS\\Web\\Wallpaper\\Windows XP SP2.bmp" "WallpaperStyle"="2" After i had finished removing everthing that I didnt want from the installation i went through the rest of the nLite wizard but didnt press 'make Image' as i still want to try and set the default background image in the SlimLine_XP folder (the name of the target folder that nLite copied the installation files from my XP disk to) . I have searched in the 'SlimLine_XP' folder and found the $OEM$ folder that is parallel to the i386 folder but there is no \$$\web\wallpaper inside the $OEM$ folder. I might just be being stupid but am i supposed to create the folders and then the setup will know what to do? Im sorry if I'm asking a stupid question but this is my first time posting and its hard to explain my problem without knowing all the techinal know-how also.... the first part makes logical sense but I dont have a \$1 folder or a \install folder and I dont know why? (and one other thing.. GUIRunOnce really confusses me, how does it all work??) I sorry if i sound really noobie but I have been trying to get my head around this technical jargan 4 days and and I still dont understand it very well, like how are you suppose to edit a reg key for the installation when the reg key doesn't even exist on the xp CD (If you check the link you'll see what i mean) Up untill now I thought I knew what I was doing on computers (you know, basic reformatting and maintaince) but now thats all changed. Any help would be grately appreciated because at the moment I am down **** creek without a paddle....................... or food
