Thanks

[banshee28]

Any ideas?

I am using Boooggy's WMP11Addon which might be part of the problem from what I hear? I am also not getting any visualizations in WMP11 either? Not sure if this is related or not..

HELP....... B)

[boooggy]

all wmp 11 slipstreaming option i create does fix theme issues. so i dont think its my packs or wmp 11 slipstreamer

[bledd]

rc2 is out by the way, and a newer rvm pack

do you have any other styles installed in C:\windows\resources\themes

install xpize and see if that works?

Cool, just read a few threads mentioning this, maybe that was an older version? Thanks.... boooggy

bledd, no other styles installed. This is the only style mod: DesktopTheme = Windows XP style|Default (blue)|Normal size

I can try xpize, but prefer not to do a new install.... B)

[bledd]

if you go to desktop, right click, properties, appearance, does it let you select Luna from there? (under 'windows and buttons')

I am not at the pc now, so I will check. I remember locating the theme itself and clicking it, which changed the background, but not the windows. I dont think it was listed as luna in the drop down either....I will verify shortly......

Negative. I only have classic to choose from. I copied shellstyle.dll from another pc, rebooted and still same problem. However, I was able to fix the add\rem programs error by coping the new shellstyle.dll???

When I browse to the themes folder and double click on the Luna theme, the background is correct, but the rest does not change :blink:

[boooggy]

lt looks like your uxtheme.dll is not patched. try lookin for a patcher on google .

[zedox]

What does the structure of your Windows\Resources directory look like?

is there a Luna folder? With contents?

[rajesh.kumar]

KB920342 doesnt allow themes to activate if slipstreamed. i manually tested many times to identify the problem is with this update. and now eliminated that fix from slipstreaming and works fine now. check whether ur fixes contain this update.

I don't see that KB listed for the update pack I used (2.1.5). And of course now windows does not have a quick way to remove it since its slipstreamed if it was ever installed?

Is there a way to remove this without re-building everything again?

I can click on the luna theme and it will change the wallpaper to the XP background, but nothing else will change!?!?!?!?

I downloaded Uxtheme Multi-patcher 5.0 and UXTheme Patch For Windows XP SP2 Final. Both did not seem to work. I think its something else since I cant even get the default xp themes to work, much less 3rd party???
