homiebrah Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 StyleXP modifies the uxtheme.dll in order to allow unsigned, third-party themes to be used. Not real sure what you're looking for, but here is something that will allow you to create your own themes:http://www.tgtsoft.com/prod_sb.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiMoNsAyS Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 i did it by using the hacked uxtheme.dll (u can find it at http://unattended.msfn.org/index.htm)and i did a rar sfx with my themes that it's extracted to \Windows\Resources\Themes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raskren Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 Yeah, forget about Style XP for themes in msstyle format. What you can do is write a .theme file to use the msstyle scheme and then specify that .theme file in winnt.sif. Windows will then use the specified theme instead of Luna (gettin' old, isn't it?). For this you work you will need to slipstream the hacked uxtheme.dll file - instructions for writing .theme files and slipstreaming the DLL can be found on this site. Search is your friend.

[BM]Crusher Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 just open any .theme file in notepad to see how it is done..i used the luna.theme and modified it... just make sure you remove the line near the wallpaper that has something.dll, -2096 or similar written there...modifying the theme, you will end up with something like what I have here (sets corona.msstyle, wallpaper and icons)obviously, you have to have a modified uxtheme.dll file, so that you can use non digitally-signed theme files use the winnt.sif theme setting to enable it; Copyright © Microsoft Corp. 1995-2001[Theme]DisplayName=Corona; My Computer[CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\DefaultIcon]DefaultValue=%SystemRoot%\Resources\Icons\MyComp.ico; My Documents[CLSID\{450D8FBA-AD25-11D0-98A8-0800361B1103}\DefaultIcon]DefaultValue=%SystemRoot%\Resources\Icons\MyDoc.ico; My Network Places[CLSID\{208D2C60-3AEA-1069-A2D7-08002B30309D}\DefaultIcon]DefaultValue=%SystemRoot%\Resources\Icons\Network.ico; Recycle Bin[CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}\DefaultIcon]full=%SystemRoot%\Resources\Icons\Full.icoempty=%SystemRoot%\Resources\Icons\Empty.ico; Control Panel[CLSID\{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}\DefaultIcon]Defaultvalue=%SystemRoot%\Resources\Icons\CPanel.ico; Printer[CLSID\{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}\DefaultIcon]Defaultvalue=%SystemRoot%\Resources\Icons\Printer.ico; Find[CLSID\{2559a1f0-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0}\DefaultIcon]Defaultvalue=%SystemRoot%\Resources\Icons\Find.ico; Help[CLSID\{2559a1f1-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0}\DefaultIcon]Defaultvalue=%SystemRoot%\Resources\Icons\Help.ico; Run[CLSID\{2559a1f3-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0}\DefaultIcon]Defaultvalue=%SystemRoot%\Resources\Icons\Run.ico; Folder[HKCR\Folder\DefaultIcon]Defaultvalue=%SystemRoot%\Resources\Icons\Folder.ico; The Internet[CLSID\{871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D}\DefaultIcon]Defaultvalue=%SystemRoot%\Resources\Icons\Internet.ico[Control Panel\Cursors]Arrow=Help=AppStarting=Wait=NWPen=No=SizeNS=SizeWE=Crosshair=IBeam=SizeNWSE=SizeNESW=SizeAll=UpArrow=DefaultValue=Windows defaultDefaultValue.MUI=@themeui.dll,-2043[Control Panel\Desktop]Wallpaper=%ResourceDir%\Themes\kenshin1.bmpTileWallpaper=0WallpaperStyle=2Pattern=ScreenSaveActive=0[VisualStyles]Path=%ResourceDir%\Themes\corona\corona.msstylesColorStyle=NormalColorSize=NormalSize[boot]SCRNSAVE.EXE=[MasterThemeSelector]MTSM=DABJDKTThemeColorBPP=8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
