oidicle Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 (edited) I manually integrated to the install.wim 3 vista themes that I downloaded from siginet's website(the custom_Nov pack), but after installing windows to test them they display as if they were windows classic themes, only the default windows aero theme displayed correctly... I don't get it, the file I downloaded already has uxtheme.dll and theme.ui files inside it, which I assumed they were signed, did I miss anything? was I supposed to manually sign them or something...please helpP.S: if anyone tried it and it worked please share your experience...

neo Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 You have to patch some file for un-signed visual styles.ManualThe Files are:Uxtheme.dll | shsvcs.dll | themeui.dll1) Login as a user with Administrative privileges -or- have Administrativecredentials ready (check under the keyboard for a slip of paper).2) Navigate to %systemroot%\System323) Right-click uxtheme.dll and click properties.4) Take ownership of the file and close dialogs.5) Repeat steps 3 and 4 for themeui.dll and shsvcs.dll6) Right-click uxtheme.dll and click properties.7) Give yourself (or group) Full Control permissions and close dialogs.8) Repeat steps 6 and 7 for themeui.dll and shsvcs.dll.9) Rename uxtheme.dll to uxtheme.old.10) Rename themeui.dll to themeui.old.11) Rename shsvcs.dll to shsvcs.old.12) Copy patched files into %systemroot%\System3213) Reboot (yes, this is really required)Enjoy!AutomaticallyUse VistaGlazz and run as administrator...and patch it and reboot.....If you want to integrate these patched files into install.wim then mount the image in /rw or read n write mode and replace existing one....and commit changes....into install.wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oidicle Posted December 12, 2007 Author Share Posted December 12, 2007 Now that that is out of the way, would you happen to know how to set one of the newly added as the default theme instead of windows aero when vista starts for the first time? if it's not to much to ask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 I don't know much about deployment of Vista....but You can rename your theme to aero and rename aero to another one such as msaerorepack your install.wim....May be work not tested myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oidicle Posted December 13, 2007 Author Share Posted December 13, 2007 (edited) okay, I was hoping there would another way besides that, but I guess that'll have to do. Edited December 13, 2007 by oidicle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
