BAM Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 Sorry, but the theme already has an *.theme file !! Well, the one i downloaded...When he puts it in the dir's i gave him before its copied over during install.IF he wants it to apply it through the WINNT.sif file he can just add the one provided with the theme.Secondly, youre right that should edit the .theme file if he wants another DEFAULT background.But in my opinion that was not wat he asked... he just wanted to bundle it.(You can always correct me if i'm wrong, so we don't have hard feelings ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullets Posted July 18, 2004 Author Share Posted July 18, 2004 thank you! yes, my original question was just to bundle it, however, i'm glad now that i know how to change the default wallpaper as well...so thanks everyone!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diesel_98a Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 use style builder and import the winxp style, then add the royale style to it. or do what i do, is to download a few and import them all into one theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celzius Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 I just tried adding the Royale theme with a selected background in my .theme file. But after installing windows it installs the theme without the background. Is there something I'm missing here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diesel_98a Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 there is more to than that. there some posts that go into more w/ the background but i dont worry about it much cause i am like changing mine all the time any way. i never could get it to work by just changing it in the .theme file.

ml20 Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 I just tried adding the Royale theme with a selected background in my .theme file. But after installing windows it installs the theme without the background. Is there something I'm missing here.I just tried something else that applies to this idea. Apply the theme and wallpaper just the way you want them, then go to display properties.Click on the Themes tab, and from the drop down menu choose my current theme. and just click Save As on the right and windows just made yout .theme file for you or course, you may have to change the .theme file a bit manually. to get it the way you want it.or, to let your wallpaper be the default, remove this line from the script above:. Wallpaper.MUI=@themeui.dll,-2036that sets the stupid bliss wallpaper as defult Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
