i have read about themes in unattended but i couldnt find anything about how to have xp load with xp style and silver color scheme. any help is appreciated

I'm also intrested how this is being done.

I also have a theme (crystal ) and it has 4 colour schemes each with different startmenus i was about to post a similar thread

I have done as followed to change my theme away fra the boring blue.

First of all: Right click the screen and go to proporties.

At the top you'll find several "leaves" - select the one called "themes".

Here you can save your current theme. ( in this case: Pezzie.theme )

Then add the following to your winnt.sif:

[Shell]
CustomDefaultThemeFile = "%WinDir%\Resources\Themes\Pezzie.theme"

Of course you need to make a folder under $OEM$ so you have the following structure:

$OEM$

|

|_$$

|

|_Resourses

|

|_Themes ( Pezzie.theme goes here )

Hope this helps

Pezzie

will try now ..thanks
