Thems + boot screen

[MADIKKE]

Hello again, it's me again with another question.

In the unattended guide there's also a section about themes and boot screen.

My question is, (because I downloaded a theme + boot screen) What do I do now?

I've tried using bootscreen.cmd (as in the guide) and put my singkrnl.exe in $$\singkrnl.exe and $$\system32\singkrnl.exe

But that didn't work :/

As for my themes :

There in \$OEM$\$$\Resources\Themes\blabla.theme

\$OEM$\$$\Resources\Themes\blabla\babla.msstyles

And in winnt.sif :

[shell]

CustomDefaultThemeFile = "%WinDir%\Resources\Themens\blabla.theme"

--EDIT-- LOL line above is the problem, I just see it now when I posted it...it says themens..instead of Themes....DOH gonna try this now

Hey guys, I tried something else

I've used the guide in here

http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=9878

But now when windows is installed (and it reboots) ( this is before all the program's are installed) im getting a error in system32/drivers/ntfs.sys

And it says I should enter XP disk and use repair....

How can this happen !!

you're not using the propper version of xp's ntoskrnl.exe.

check it corresponds with your localized version of xp and service pack

Well I figured it out how to install my theme, the boot-thingy didnt work yet though...

Only One thing with the themes....They don't work properly

The icons and the background ARE changed, but the interface (As you can see on the screenshots) isn't

Help ?

Did you use a patched uxtheme.dll? It is a MUST if you want themes.

[MADIKKE]

Well yea, I believe so, I got it somewhere from here....

Or could anyone post 1 to another patched version ???

Don't know if it nessicarily(orsomethin) but im on WinxpProSP2

Well from your screenshots it looks like your theme service could be turned of......maybe that is why they are not showing up properly?

[MADIKKE]

Tnx kelsenellenelvian, that worked ! Now how to make it unattended ??

@ Suryad, themes are enabled in the service menu

[SiMoNsAyS]

nlite can patch the uxtheme.dll file and enable the themes service. is that what you were looking for?

[MADIKKE]

I got that fixed by now, I just put the patched uxtheme.dll in my I386 dir so it get's copy-ed And it works !!

Now for my boot menu...

[MADIKKE]

Already fixed the uxtheme part...

I just put it in my XP\Professional\I386 folder and it copys it to the %system32 folder
