Domain Logon - Custom Theme Switch Back 2 Xp Blue


0-1

Recommended Posts

Hi guys hopefully you can help me with this.

I'm sure everyone is well aware of the standard Windows XP Metallic theme,

with its 3 variants Default (Blue), Olive Green, and Silver.

Now because I am only now getting into skinning and customizing windows,

I have always used the Silver theme.

It being the only one that is bearable for longer than 5 minutes! :)

My problem lies with the Logon Screen for Domains, you know the text based login, as opposed to the Welcome screen.

Now say I have my Silver theme, or Custom msstyle & theme (as the case is now), for my normal windows interface.

When I lock the workstation, windows retains the Silver or custom theme.

But if I log-out completly, at just the last moment, windows reverts BACK to that nasty Blue scheme.

I had thought that because this would be a seperate interface, I could simply edit the logon files (LOGONUI.EXE & MSGINA.DLL).

But when I use ResourceTuner, it doesn't turn up any visable sections to edit / change.

I have also tried including the Silver / custom themes, as the default theme file in my unattended DVD. They install fine, but I still get the same network logon issue.

Maybe I'm totally blind and have missed something,

and my apologies if this turns out to be a dumb question,

but I am really struggling.

Many Thanks for any help.

Use this key

[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ThemeManager]

Use regedit to change

"DllName" = put the path of the msstyles here

"ColorName"= and put the name of the color here

For example to make it use Luna with the Metallic (Silver) color set

"DllName"="%SystemRoot%\Resources\themes\Luna\Luna.msstyles"
"ColorName"="Metallic"

Once you've changed these then you can export it for easy use

:hello:
