ToBe Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 If you do like mazin says, it will work on any version of WinXP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metzen Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 If you do like mazin says, it will work on any version of WinXP.I have not gotten a custom XP theme to work with the "Royal" theme either. Mine has different icons and wallpaper though, I will post it tomorrow and maybe someone can spot where I'm going wrong... This really p***es me off. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazin Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 but what TOBE gave works only for tabletPC no?Downloaded EXE works on Tablet PCs only. But if you extract it and use those 4 files (I mentioned), it will work on Windows as ToBe said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToBe Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 Here's an exe I've made with the Royale Theme, including olive green, silver and blue color style, that works with every version of Windows XP, it also includes the 3D Windows XP screensaver... Royale Theme All WinXPThis can be installed via svcpack.inf, just add the line Royale.exe without switches.To have it as default theme when the install is done, add this to winnt.sif:[Shell]CustomDefaultThemeFile = "%Systemroot%\Resources\Themes\Royale.Theme" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adiel Posted October 13, 2004 Author Share Posted October 13, 2004 ok, i'll try this EXE , but how exactly do i call him from svcpack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adiel Posted October 13, 2004 Author Share Posted October 13, 2004 oh and something i noticed in my winnt.sif under the [shell] section :DefaultThemesOff = Nomaybe this can be the cause to the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToBe Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 ok, i'll try this EXE , but how exactly do i call him from svcpack?Do you have a svcpack.inf?If so, add the line royale.exe to it under the section [setupHotfixesToRun], no switches:[Version] Signature="$Windows NT$"MajorVersion=5MinorVersion=1BuildNumber=2600[SetupData]CatalogSubDir="\i386\svcpack"[ProductCatalogsToInstall][SetupHotfixesToRun]Royale.exePlace the file royale.exe in your \i386\svcpack folder.To use this theme as default, add this line to winnt.sif:[Shell]CustomDefaultThemeFile = "%Systemroot%\Resources\Themes\Royale.Theme""DefaultThemesOff = No" should not be a problem, but it is not needed as it is the default setting.This is tested and working, if you can not get it to work with these instructions, some regtweak or something must be wrong.When your install is done, do you get the classic style start menu, or the default fancy, blue winxp start menu?

mazin Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 Even manually, a new theme can't be fully applied if you set your system to the classic theme. Mostly, Luna theme should be applied before applying a new theme.I can't tell wether you made the classic theme be the default one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tweaker Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 The Royal theme is also being discussed in the 'MSFN -> Customizing Windows -> Customizing Windows -> XP Visual Styles' section.In that topic there's someone who created an installer for the Royale theme:http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...ndpost&p=204892Hope this helps you.

ToBe Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 @Adiel:If you remove the line DefaultStartPanelOff = Yes from [shell], it will work.Once again, all you need under the [shell] section is:[Shell]CustomDefaultThemeFile = "%Systemroot%\Resources\Themes\Royale.Theme" Taken from ref.chm:DefaultStartPanelOff = Yes | NoYes Uses the classic Windows Start menu and displays icons for My Computer and My Documents on the desktop.No Uses the default Windows XP start menu.Default Value No Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
