Royale (MCE) total transformation

[BoardBabe]

I'm applying the original M$ "Royale" theme (with New Bliss background) from winnt.sif, but is there any other Royale / Energy Blue files (original M$?) that I could integrate/apply during unattend setup? Like logon/logoff/welcome screen etc.

What an excellent respond and tool!

Should this not apply a new logon/welcome screen? I did not see any change of this on Norwegian Win XP pro.

Can I ask how you applied the "Royal" theme? I got the Royal theme and added it in to my unattened CD but it didn't work because my file extension isn't the same as the theme extension

Royale.msstyles

When windows is built I have to find the file above and double click it to apply theme.

Would be great to find out how you done it.

Thanks

Click on my sig and you will have all you need.

Looks nice XPero, but it's not what I want. I only need to have the Royale theme setup and install automatically.

Thanks

what a coincidence I was also trying this these couple of last days...:-)

I slipstreamed the needed files into the I386.

1.copying over the needed files :

--------------------------------------

-blue_ss.dl_
-energybliss.jp_
-luna.ms_
-Luna.th_
-royale.ms_
-royale.th_
-royale_ss.dl_
-shellstyle.dl_

2.making txtsetup.sif entries :

--------------------------------------

241=system32\PreInstall\WinSE\wxp_x86_0409_v1  **already there
500 = Resources\Themes\Royale
501 = Resources\Themes\Royale\Shell\NormalColor
502 = Resources\Themes\Luna\Shell\Royale

[SourceDisksFiles]  **already there

luna.the  = 1,,,,,,,129,0,0,Luna.theme  **already there
royale.mst  = 100,,,,,,,500,0,0,royale.msstyles
royale.the  = 1,,,,,,,129,0,0,royale.theme  
shellstyle.dll = 1,,,,,,,501,0,0,shellstyle.dll
royale_ss.dll = 1,,,,,,,502,0,0,shellstyle.dll
energybliss.jpg = 1,,,,,,,1981,0,0
lusrmgr.msc  = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0  **already there

3.slipstreaming royale logon screen :

------------------------------------------

copy over logonui.ex_ with a new one

For ease of use I will put online all needed files to put in the I386 folder.

That way only copying them over and editing txtsetup.sif would sufice.

Nice one - thanks devilrunner.

I take you manged to get this working ok.

How did you add the entry in your *.sif file so that the theme gets installed.

Thanks again

I apply it manually but I guess you could :

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

Thanks, I'll try it out.

I guess the files that you slipstreamed go in the themes folder within I386\Resources\Themes\

??

Thanks again

[devilrunner]

you have to put the files in the root dir I386 of you unattended cd.

the entries in txtsetup.sif make sure they eventually get extracted to the correct directories.

so after you have installed they will be found in windows\resources\themes\ etc..

[nakira]

Or you can put the Royale files into $OEM$\$$\Resources\Themes\Royale

and they will be copied to %systemroot%\Resources.

Apply that style, and save it as Royale.theme, copy the theme file into $OEM$\$$\Resources\Themes

in WINNT.SIF

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