Need help with unattended GUI tweak

[booster]

Hi there.

I'm trying to set the "Active Title Bar" size to 20 in my unattended install.

But does not get apllied to new users.

I have this in my cmdlines.txt

[COMMANDS]
"regedit /s .\qlb.reg"
"regedit /s .\Tweaks.reg"
"RunOnceEx.cmd"

qlb.reg works. (Quick Launch Bar On)

In tweaks.reg I got this

;Set caption height to 20
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics]
"BorderWidth"="-15"
"CaptionHeight"="-300"
"CaptionWidth"="-270"

But no matter what I do, it does not take efftect.

I have tried loading the NTUSER.DAT file from "Default User" and there the values are set correctly. But new users don't get these values.

Donno what to do ?

Booster,

what does this tweak do exactly or a screen shot of the result would be helpful and then i will test on my test bench and see if i can help.

Hi `Felix`

Right click on desktop, choose properties.

Select "Appearance" tab, then click on "Advanced"

In "item" box select "Active Title Bar".

Default size is 25, I want to change it to 20.

btw I'm using Windows XP SP2 but it's the same with SP1

If I apply the tweak after I'm logged in, then reboot it works nicely.

Hey Booster,

I am using the same - SP2, however my default size is 20.... i changed it to 25 to have a look and i have never seen that size as a standard.... ok at what point are you applying the reg tweak to your default user.. and are you adding it to the NTUSER.DAT file?

Donno why my default size is 25 then..

I apply the reg file from cmdlines.txt, so this is at the T-12 stage.

And therefore applyed to the "Default User".

See my first post to see the contents of both cmdlines.txt and tweak.reg

Maybe having to do with this in my winnt.sif

[Display]
    BitsPerPel=16
    Xresolution=1024
    YResolution=768
    Vrefresh=75

Will try to install without it.

"I'll be back"

EDIT: Nope nothing to do with this.

Bottom of which page ?

Don't seem to find any link

EDIT:

This guide http://www.dazdezines.com/simplify-it/Guides/guide1.htm

Have tried that to.. No luck either.

Is it possible to run regedit during install ?

Read somewhere that you could get a cmd prompt, but can't remember what the key-combinations was..

Problem solved

I applied a custom theme.

So I guess my default Luna theme is different than others.

But now it is just like I want it.
