As I said earlier: the reason i'm doing it this way is because i THINK (?) that if i simply replace the file in 1386, that won't work because i am installing RyanVM Update 1.04. so what do i do?

not sure if that was a joke or not, but I tried em anyway (I'm desperate)... none worked. how do i apply this silently?!

bump

so i downloaded the file (EvID4226Patch212-en.zip), and i tried to run it like so: %cdrom%\\Tweaks\\EvID4226Patch.exe /L=100 However, I get a cmd window asking if I really want to do it. is there a way to run it silently? (also, the "/L=100" switch supposedly makes the max # to 100 instead of the 50 by default) I attached the screenshot. the reason i'm doing it this way is because i THINK (?) that if i simply replace the file in 1386, that won't work because i am installing RyanVM Update 1.04. what should i do?

Does anyone else call WPI from cmdlines.txt? I'm pretty sure this is how to do it, and it allows running WPI off the CD too!

i knew i wasn't crazy!

ok, i guess i'll check that out when the next version is released. By the way, is 3.3.2 stable? all the stuff we've been talking about is 'petty' appearance stuff. is the coding stable enogh to be burned to cd? ha, i didn't realize. i can still help you. ill just select your theme, still no font anyway. what next?

the 2 fixes you posted above work perfectly. theme switcher now works. however, there is still no scroll / auto-scroll in the debug menu, so i cannot see anything past "Winheight", so I can't check about the font. [edit] i managed to fix the scroll thing. (i changed the CLASS of debug to "txt" instead of "debug") however, there is nothing even mention (even on debug level 5) about the font... [edit 2] also, i think there is an error in your .css file in the vaio theme - under ".txt", it said "mo-margin"...i think its supposed to be "no-margin" ?? Or are you going for a gangsta "mo money mo problems" kinda thing? [edit 3] ok, i edited my theme's css file more completely, and now i removed all references to your font. also, is there any way to control the tooltip settings from the theme folder (as opposed to the ".js" file??) Updated Screenshot:

also, the debug doesn't show a scrollbar in the viao theme mode. so i cannot see anything about the font. ps - i AM able to switch between default and viao themes. it's when i try to install my own theme (adding my "a06" folder in "themes" with all the viao theme files, except a different background.jpg) that it doesn't work. it selects it just fine, but it doesn't apply the replaced bg. am i doing something wrong? how exactly does one go about 'creating' a theme? [edit] all these errors still apply on version 3.3.1 downloaded 01-05-05 @ 11:30 EST [edit 2] further evaluation: i probably don't know how to correctly apply a theme. i looked at the code for wpi.htm in the "viao" theme folder, which i simply copied to my "a06" folder, and i see lots of refs to the "viao" folder, so I am probably making a mistake by simply copying and pasting the theme files. i will await a better tutorial on how to make a theme. however, this still doesn't fix the font problem, nor the debug problem... [edit 3] :sigh: also, the debug words are in white, which is extremely hard to read against the viao theme. maybe make the debug text the same settings as the theme itself? lots of bugs here..

I created a new folder in themes called 'a06', and edited useroptions.js to the folder name: a06.That didn't work, so I tried seleting it from the options menu. Still, the viao theme was used (even after 'saving' and reopening). As for the bg pic, what I was trying to say is that the only way I was able to change the bg pic while using themes (and not use your viao bg pic) was to go into the viao theme folder, and manually replace the background.jpg with my own. Please specify which font you mean. if it's the font of "a.06", that is correct, because I did that myself. If it's something else, then I guess there is a problem. which text are you referring to? [edit] after re-looking, i assume you are talking about the text of "being install" "select all" etc. You are correct, and I do not know why the font isnt working. I did not change the css file.

i found some errors/bugs in 3.3.0. See my post here: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...ndpost&p=245940

that would be me. thanks, hasi! So here is my modified version of yours. I should point out a few errors I found with v3.3.0: - Selecting themes doesn't work. The VIAO theme is always displayed. The only way to change it is to change the actual files (I replaced background.jpg for this screenshot) - For some reason part of the programs (bottom line) are cut off. [see under Graphics, it's only one program, and under Tweaks, the second program.] The only way around this is to enable the scroll bar. But I don't want a scroll bar - why cant the whole screen just move up a little? If they ar egetting cut off, shouldn't they move to the next line? PS- I still think VIAO's are overpriced. Nice to know what it stands for, though. I'm still a Toshiba guy through-and-through.

@hasi001: that's actually a really cool feature - i never knew that! so if I include cond[pn]=['FileExists("%CDROM%\Install\PA\setupPA.exe")'] (edited toward correct path, obviously) for each program, then if the prog isnt included on the CD it won't show up in WPI? Nice!

Do I hear Nike?

im sorry, but no one seems to check that sticky anymore. can someone please help me with this? i am trying to finish up my cd, and i am waiting for an answer to my post: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...ic=12566&st=270

check out http://100webspace.com @prathapml beat ya to it!

oh, i didn't download the latest release yet (obviously)

1 word: overpriced. Toshiba 4eva! [edit] try this: http://www.100webspace.com/

LOL, pretty much the same. I posted mine for a few reasons: - I've tested mine and it works (you didn't mention that in yours, so i thought, just in case, i'd post mine) - mine checks EVERY drive for the cd, and it does it in one single line - wpi.cmd is easier to understand than runonceex.cmd for the purposes of this board.

will you post the files so we can edit them? (ex: remove VIAO logo)

I don't know... Maybe you should just include the cmd and reg files. I always used a cmd file anyway (to call WPI to run from the CD), so maybe the cmd isnt SO bad after all. If it solves the problem, then I'm fine with it. If there was a better way to solve it without the cmd, sure. But this isn't the worst case - it's better than having the bug!! So now, let me see if I understand the current method: is this correct?

I feel like I'm constantly saying this lately. It's REALLY not so hard to edit the useroptions.js and config.js it's actually VERY simpler. I had a harder time learning the actual RunOnceEx commands than I did learning WPI. Part of the process of making these unattended cd's is to LEARN something, not to have everything spoonfed... jeez, TRY a little, people.

here's mine (real-world tested and working): If you use this exact code, without modifying the cmdlines.txt path, then make sure your WPI folder is at the ROOT of the CD (along with the i386 folder). Also, the WPI.cmd is in the WPI folder (along with WPI.hta).

@Astalavista fair enough, that's all i was asking for. maybe hasi could somehow incorperate the fix you use into the stabdard issue WPI?

ok, hasi, wow. how much of that is your theme vs. how much of that is useable on ANY system? how'd you make it so pretty? lol post it so we can all modify it! you could include psd files if you used em.
