sometimes it is not Booggy's wmp11 addon that causes theme service to disabled. u should define the theme correctly which including visual styles, sound scheme, screensaver, icon.
Here I made an add on to permanently replace the original default sysdm.cpl located in Windows\system32 Download: Sysdm MD5: 622BFAD78A19EEC7E5CFA57F3000F9D8
For those who experienced the "Show Desktop Icon" missing from Quicklaunch after IE7 final integration, I made an add on to re-enable it. Download: Show Desktop Icon MD5: BE683918C075D43B24F72EBD4341597A Tested on real machine with nLite 1.2.1 and original IE7 setup exe downloaded from MS.com Note: Make sure you arrange this add on to integrate after IE7 add on.
Thx for ur brilliant idea! I don't know this will work but last time I choose this option without the "show desktop icon" removed. May be it's the reason. will try it soon and someone pls confirm this and give feedback here.
I checked my WINNT.SIF and found this line: [Shell] CustomDefaultThemeFile="%WinDir%\Resources\Themes\My Theme (nL).theme" This causes my Visual Style not appear in Appearance tab of Display Properties. FYI, I only integrate the .msstyles instead of .theme and selected as default. I think the solution is to define the theme first and save it as .theme file and select it as the default theme. Don't select an .msstyles file as your default theme.
I heard that the previous version of WMP 11 Beta made by Booggy gives the problem. The classic theme is chosen as the default if you integrated the add on I mentioned.
I have reported this problem in this thread: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=85670# And I have a solution for it by making an add on to create the show desktop icon in quicklaunch. try it and gimme feedback. thx!
