How to set a "modified" theme

[kof94]

XPero, what reg settings (if any) do you use to set a "modified" theme instead of using a .theme file with XPize.

I've search for an answer but can't find one, I've also tried a host of reg settings but nothing seams to stick.

I'm most interested in how to set the wallpaper and screen saver as I haven't found any good settings for these.

I know this isn't exactly XPize related but I thought I'd probably get a useful answer in this forum !

Thanks.

This is the XPize code:

SetRebootFlag true
				SetOverwrite off
				SetOutPath "$RESOURCES\Themes"
				File /r "Extras\Skins\Luna Royale"
				WriteRegStr HKCU "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ThemeManager" "WCreatedUser" "1"
				WriteRegStr HKCU "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ThemeManager" "LoadedBefore" "0"
				WriteRegStr HKCU "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ThemeManager" "ThemeActive" "1"
				WriteRegStr HKCU "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ThemeManager" "ColorName" "NormalColor"
				WriteRegStr HKCU "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ThemeManager" "SizeName" "NormalSize"
				WriteRegExpandStr HKCU "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ThemeManager" "DllName" "%SystemRoot%\resources\Themes\Luna Royale\Luna Royale.msstyles"

Thanks, but how do you set the wallpaper and screen saver as well?

[XPero]

WriteRegStr HKCU "Control Panel\Desktop" "SCRNSAVE.EXE" "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\XPize.scr"

I change wallpaper using API.

Thanks again, one last question (can you guess).

Do you use a windows internal command or something you've coded yourself?

[XPero]

I call user32.dll API functions to set wallpaper on the fly as Windows does.

[kof94]

What function call do you use?

And, I gather you'd call it something like this.

rundll32 Shell32.dll,<insert function> <path to image>

Thanks.

System::Call 'user32.dll::SystemParametersInfo(i 20, i 0, t "$WINDIR\Web\Wallpaper\MCE.bmp", i 3) i .r0'
System::Call 'user32.dll::RedrawWindow(i 0, i 0, i 0, i 0x0085) i .r1'

Thank you very much .

I just spent the last ten minutes looking for the function with Dll Export Viewer, not easy .

Well I think thats all I need.

Keep up the good, your a true professional XPero.
