Aid Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 (edited) For Uxtheme.dllI've attatched the Italian SP1 patched Uxtheme.dll. Can anyone verify that it is a working Italian SP1 patched uxtheme?Open cmd, type makecab filename.xxxReplace filename.xxx with the location and name of the uxtheme.dll I attatchedThen copy the outputted patched uxtheme.dl_ into your i386 in your XP install directory. (Like XPCD\i386\)For wallpapersMake sure your Wallpaper gets moved to the HD during installation. Open your Luna.theme (%Systemroot%\Resources\Themes\) in notepad and edit it so that;[Control Panel\Desktop]Wallpaper=filename.xxx TileWallpaper=0WallpaperStyle=2Pattern=Replace filename.xxx to the location and the name of the wallpaper that got copied over in the installation, save the Luna.theme and copy it into your XP installation directory into;XPCD\$OEM$\$$\Resources\ThemesThen open your winnt.sif (XPCD\i386\winnt.sif) in notepad and add the following lines;[shell]CustomDefaultThemeFile = "%Systemroot%\Resources\Themes\Luna.theme"This should use the Luna.theme that got copied over in Installation that contains the location of the wallpaper.uxtheme.rar Edited February 21, 2006 by Aid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi82 Posted February 21, 2006 Author Share Posted February 21, 2006 (edited) tnx, i'll immediatly try the uxtheme dll and will tell you...For the wallpaper, i don't understand how to do...where to begin, on my winxp installed on my pc or in an unattended copy installed in a virtual machine???EDIT:i received an error with the uxtheme dll..i take your dll, typed makecab and then just copy the dl_ in my i386 folder...so, what's wrong? Must i copy also the uxtheme.dll file with the dl_ one? Edited February 21, 2006 by Jedi82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aid Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 tnx, i'll immediatly try the uxtheme dll and will tell you...For the wallpaper, i don't understand how to do...where to begin, on my winxp installed on my pc or in an unattended copy installed in a virtual machine???Ok, On your XPCD, create the folders: "$OEM$\$$\" So it will be sorta like;"XPCD\$OEM$\$$\" And place your wallpaper into it, (XPCD\$OEM$\$$\Wallpaper.jpg)So that it will get copied into %Systemroot% during XP installation.Open up "%Systemroot%\Resources\Themes\Luna.theme" in notepad.Edit it so it has the lines;[Control Panel\Desktop]Wallpaper=%Systemroot%\Wallpaper.jpgTileWallpaper=0WallpaperStyle=2Pattern=ScreenSaveActive=0Then save it into XPCD\$OEM$\$$\Resources\Themes\Open up your winnt.sif (XPCD\i386\) in notepad and add the lines;[shell]CustomDefaultThemeFile = "%Systemroot%\Resources\Themes\Luna.theme"Hope it makes more sense.

Aid Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 (edited) lol you replied to me when i was editing my post, plerase read the edit I cant read Italian, but I think it's the copy error, you need to;Download ModifyPE and save it into %Systemroot%\system32.Open up command prompt, typemodifype.exe C:\uxtheme.dll -c(Replace C:\ with the location of your uxtheme.dll)Then makecab and place it in \i386Then try it. "open up luna theme on my pc with winxp installed normally or open it from my una folder???if it's the first one, can i copy all the content of the file and create a new luna.thme one?"If you mean Resources\Luna\Luna.msstyle, no, it's Luna.theme in Resources\ Edited February 21, 2006 by Aid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
