The Leon Hikari Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 I've replaced all of my files that need to be replaced, and put the files that need to be there where they should. I told the winnt.sif to use a certain file for the theme, and all of that good crap. I've tried to install XP twice with this special theme, once with SP1 intergrated, once with SP2 intergrated. The first time, with SP1, everything went smooth until explorer started. It was running in classic theme when it should have been running in the theme I chose. No biggie, I just went into the settings and changed the theme. I intergrated SP2 today, and installed it. Went the same way as SP1, exept now, It won't use the theme. Anyone know how to fix this? Should I replace the file that does the theming with the cracked version again, or should I go back to SP1, or what? I can't seem to figure out what makes it not use my theme on startup. I've got "CustomDefaultThemeFile="advance4-3_normal-black-whiteback.THEME"" under [shell] in winnt.sif, but it won't use the theme. Anyone know what the problem is?

MCT Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 what version of the uxtheme are u using? make sure its the 1 for your build example. 2149regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Leon Hikari Posted June 24, 2004 Author Share Posted June 24, 2004 Well, is there a hacked one for SP2, or a way to get the latest one for SP1? I'm also wondering why the first time I built the CD, when I had some crap missing, the theme loaded fine (This was SP1, also). I rebuilt the CD with everything almost in order, and it wouldn't load the theme unless I told it to go to the theme. It just loaded up the classic theme. Is there any reason for this in SP1, and how do I fix it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Leon Hikari Posted June 24, 2004 Author Share Posted June 24, 2004 http://vortex2050.dyndns.org:8080/reposito...e/Windows%20XP/So, making this into a uxtheme.dl_ should fix my problem of my theme not working, and should also fix the problem of my theme not loading up (aka it booting into classic theme instead of my theme)?

MCT Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 yes, it will, aslong as your theme is correctly set 2 load %windir%\Resources\Themes\mytheme.themeregards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Leon Hikari Posted June 24, 2004 Author Share Posted June 24, 2004 yes, it will, aslong as your theme is correctly set 2 load %windir%\Resources\Themes\mytheme.themeregardsMaybe it's because I don't have %windir% in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCT Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 %windir% is only a windows variable, so u dont have 2 specify C:\ or D:\ , this way u can install your batch file/unattended cd on any pc & any drive, it doesnt have 2 be c:\EDIT %windir% is the same as ...C:\WINDOWS\ or D:\WINDOWS\ orF:\124355djd8 whatever your windows directory is regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Leon Hikari Posted June 24, 2004 Author Share Posted June 24, 2004 CustomDefaultThemeFile="advance4-3_normal-black-whiteback.THEME"That's what I have under there, currently. I think that's the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCT Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 [shell] CustomDefaultThemeFile = "%WinDir%\Resources\Themes\Luna VX.theme"thats what i use & it works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[BM]Crusher Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 don't forget if you're making you own .theme file and basing it off the Luna.theme file, you have to delete the lines referring to MUI.. likeWallpaper.MUI=@themeui.dll,-2036or the wallpaper you specify will not be applied (the themeui.dll,-2036 specifies the Bliss background no matter what you specify as your image)Of course, if you are using a different theme (or a premade theme), don't worry about it and forget i even posted it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCT Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 the theme (Luna VX) i use isnt a luna based theme, its one someone made & posted it, it works well, i found it on the neo win forumsregards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
