Heya guys !!

Well ... In addition to doing my own nLite install, I wish to insert my own wallpapers into the source.

I've found this thread:

http://www.msfn.org/board/lofiversion/index.php/t78095.html

Unfortunately, I do not understand much from it. I've done the registry edits, and I tested it. It works for my case.

What I don't understand is how I can place the wallpaper into the source? Is it pre-nLite or post-nLite?

Also, from what I can see, I need a GuiRunOnce script rather than integrating it with a registry add-on (like the one I'm trying to make).

Can anyone help me here?

EDIT::

Also read of how people replaced the Bliss.bmp file in i386 directory.

However, I would like to keep that wallpaper. I've had nice memories with it. But, I like my default now more

Just take all your wallpapers and put them in $OEM$/$$/ , where $OEM$ is a folder on the root of the CDROM.

Or use this trick with a Theme addon to integrate with nLite (thanks ricktendo64):

Alright, thanks.

So, let me get this procedure:

--Do everything you need with source.

--Create $OEM$ folder in the root of the source (the first layer of stuff, right?)

------In the $OEM$ folder, make another folder, $$

----------Finally, in that folder, add whatever wallpapers I have.

**Then, so set it as default, I would need to use a registry tweak, is that correct? How does the tweak found in http://www.msfn.org/board/lofiversion/index.php/t78095.html look?

**Also, how about integrating saved themes? I have an idea I want my wallpaper to go with. How is the method described in http://www.msfn.org/board/wallpaper-and-th...cd-t103429.html ?

Please, describe these methods in more detail for me so I can follow them step for step.

Thanks a lot guys !!

EDIT::

Sorry, 0d14r3, I don't quite understand your method. Can you please elaborate?

EDIT 2::

Found these pages: http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/18/ + http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/76/ . So, how do I integrate this via nLite or some other integrating software?

Here is the reference shhet on the $oem$ folders. It will tell you alot.

Also Don't forget to set:

OEMPreInstall = yes

In your winnnt.sif file.

Alright, so ... Let me get this clearly ...

--Create $OEM$ folder in root of SOURCE

----In the $OEM$ folder, follow http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/18/ + http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/76/ in adding non-default XP stuff (like my wallpaper and theme) with the $$\ and under folders

--DO NOT forget to place winnt.sif file into i386 folder::

OemPreinstall=Yes
[Shell]
CustomDefaultThemeFile = "%WinDir%\Resources\Themes\MyTheme.theme"

Is this, in essence, what I need to put into my winnt.sif ?

--Do everything you need with source.

--Create $OEM$ folder in the root of the source (the first layer of stuff, right?)

------In the $OEM$ folder, make another folder, $$

Yes. By doing that your wallpapers will be copied to the windows folder.

That should do it.

Ah, thanks.

I've made my edits, and hopefully, nLite didn't rewrite/ overwrite my settings. I double checked, and it seems all correct.

Now, the only thing left is to test it.

This addon created by Kelsenellenelvian was modified to use the code from ricktendo64.

It install DZ Vista Orange theme to default theme, include wallpaper.

The additional commands

 [AddDirective]
WINNT.SIF,Shell

[EditFile]
WINNT.SIF,Shell,DefaultTheme

[DefaultTheme]
CustomDefaultThemeFile	= "%ResourceDir%\Themes\Vista Orange.theme"

in entries_orange.ini modify WINNT.SIF to set Vista Orange.theme to default theme without manual edition.
