[durex]

So are you all set with this? I know you sent me a pm in regards to this a couple days ago I wasnt able to get back to you on.

Guys I'm using another way.It's simple and better the others.Why.Because many theme files too big for cd install.My unattend xp installing 84 diffirent programs and 47 themes and hotfixes.I'm everytime making my own setup or compressing files with winrar.

For example themes.47 diffirent theme more than 80 mb.When use winrar its only 12 mb.Especially themes more compressable files.Why don't you use Winrar

This comment extracting automatically theme files to resources folder

path=%SYSTEMROOT%\Resources\Themes

Silent=2

And adding to mainbatch file thats it.

change:

[shell]

CustomDefaultThemeFile = "%Windir%\Resources\Themes\Royal Inspirat.msstyles"

to:

[shell]

CustomDefaultThemeFile="%Systemroot%\Resources\Themes\Royal Inspirat.msstyles"

Here is how to install storm btw:

[shell]

CustomDefaultThemeFile = "%WinDir%\Resources\Themes\Storm\Storm.msstyles"

Then in $OEM$ folder add this to cmdlines.txt:

"REGEDIT /S Theme.reg"

In theme.reg should be these keys. Setup your computer to use storm and pick your settings and reboot computer.

And then extract the below keys and place in Theme.reg:

[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ThemeManager]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Appearance]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Colors]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ThemeManager]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Themes]

This way you get all of your settings. Not just some.

And it will be the correct font you pick and color sceam instead of just the default.
