[Shell]
    CustomDefaultThemeFile = "%WinDir%Resources\Themes\BlueTube.Theme"
    DefaultThemesOff = No

my %OEM$ folder is like this:

/
|
+-I386
+-$OEM$
    |
    +-$1
    +-$$
        |
        +-Resources
            |
            +-Themes
                |

I put my theme in the Theme directory at $OEM$ dir.

I installed the patch "Unsigned theme support" in nLite, that let me to use theme that didn't made by windows.

At the end of the installation my windows look is Classic style and no theme.

Wher did I go wrong?

* Sorry aboute the bad english, hope you understand and help me.

I beleive I see the problem

[shell]CustomDefaultThemeFile = "%WinDir%Resources\Themes\BlueTube.Theme"

  DefaultThemesOff = No

It should be

[shell]  CustomDefaultThemeFile = "%WinDir%\Resources\Themes\BlueTube.Theme"

  DefaultThemesOff = No

Thanl for the reply.

I made what you tallec me to, and put the "/" after the "%WinDir%".

but it didn't work out, it still don't copping from the $OEM$ folder.

do you have any-thing else?

It did not work as its not "/" you need after WinDir it's "\"

Simply copy and paste what I placed before to winnt.sif and it will work fine

Copy & Paste

[Shell]
  CustomDefaultThemeFile = "%WinDir%\Resources\Themes\BlueTube.Theme"
  DefaultThemesOff = No

I copied what you wrote to me' and it still don't copy.

[TheeBeets]

What I gave you does work and did u incorporate the uxtheme.dll file through nLite and its possible that you did not allow themes through a registry tweak by disabling them, there must be something somewhere not allowing it. If you are using a cleanup.cmd to restart windows before the WIMP environment is loaded that could be a problem as the theme isnt initialised, so if you restart it remove that section of the command and try again. Its all about the process of elimination!!

[Refuse_]

The $oem$ dir must be within the i386 dir, not next to it.

I think that will solve your problem.

[dansouza]

The $OEM$ Directory is NOT supposed to be inside the I386 folder, it is supposed to be parallel to it. See the following:

Is your structure like this

\$OEM$\$$\RESOURCES\THEMES\CODEOPUSC\CODEOPUSC.MSSTYLES

\$OEM$\$$\RESOURCES\THEMES\CODEOPUS.THEME

Edit:

You'll need a

[unattended]

OemFilesPath=.\$OEM$

in your winnt.sif
