CustomDefaultThemeFile not applying?

[TB_205]

I have set it like this in winnt.sif

CustomDefaultThemeFile = "%systemroot%\Resources\Themes\Sentinel_Deviant.theme

In my batch file I unrar the Theme files to the right directory, but why isn´t it applied?

The last thing my batch does it to reboot the system, when i gets back-up windows is just running in classic mode.

Under theme properties it says "modified theme"

What is going wrong here?

You have to patch uxtheme.dll before

I have the same problem , and yes , I have applied the patched uxtheme.dll and it's installed properly as I can select the theme manually once setup is finished.

Any ideas ?

Do you have to patch UXTheme.dll if you want to use a modified theme based off Windows Classic???

You have to patch uxtheme.dll when you want to use a visual style that isn't included with Windows XP.

Hey, that reminds me of a question I feel like asking.... does Plus! XP install a modified UXTheme.dll for the extra themes it provides?

Yes I know about that. uxtheme.dll is patched up! This is done from my install .bat file? Perhaps I have to include the hacked file in the right cab file on the install cd?
