almulder Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 Is there a way to change to a specified theme upon restart? I have my unattened DVD install several themes upon running. But it defaults to the Crystal XP. I have a prefered theme that overlaps with crystal xp, so I get the best of the both worlds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

argon007 Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 Winnt.sif[shell] DefaultStartPanelOff = Yes DefaultThemesOff = No CustomDefaultThemeFile = "%Windir%\Resources\Themes\GANT_OS_Blue.theme"You can change the CustomDefaultThemeFile to the theme that is located.

almulder Posted April 5, 2005 Author Share Posted April 5, 2005 I know how to set the default theme upon install but after installing 5 different ones, it overights what I told it to default to. I sets the last one as the default. I need it to be changed upon restart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redbeard Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 I have a similar question. I can run that command-line and it opens up the display applet showing the desired theme. Is there a switch to have it automatically apply that theme? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
