Hello Max!

I've made an complete test, with a new clean copy Windows 7 x86 DVD, but I chose inside:

Modded files + Setup backgrounds:
1- spwizimg.dll
2- imageres.dll
3- FirstUXRes.WIM
Successfuly integrated 3 files.
When I click "OK", Se7en_UA execute "mount boot.wim 2" and after "unmount" the command window says that it's successful!
I've not delete the unwanted Images.
Of course "background_cli.bmp" wasn't modded because I don't chose one, and I don't try it!
Maybe if a user choose to keep only one Image (install.wim 5) and Se7en_UA delete all the others Images, "install.wim 5" will be "install.wim 1" and the dll's aren't integrated!?

Works fine for me!
I need to try now with add "background_cli.bmp".
The first and second step have same images! And Logon screen is modded (imageres.dll)!

Regards

Hello Max!

I've made a new successfuly test on Sun VirtualBox!

I keep all the Images and I chose Windows 7 ULTIMATE (install.wim 5)
boot.wim 2 is mounted and unmounted and commit successfuly!

Add Modded Files + backgrounds:
1- spwizimg.dll
2- imageres.dll
3- FirstUXRes.WIM
5- background_cli.bmp

All works perfectly!
Regards

this link shows windows media centre.
notice their background? normally, they are bluish in media centre. does anyone know which file was edited to put the custom background into these apps? i remember some while ago that i had downloaded an edited dll which caused mediaplayer to have the effect shown above, but dont remember....


further, check this:
http://i152.photobuc...us_02/11-86.jpg

notice the start menu? is it a theme or has it been edited? if this is a theme, which theme is it? links anyone???
if it was edited, can u tell me how???


boot.wim 2:
the spwzimg.dll thing... for some reason, i can replace all bitmaps except resources number 517 and 518. i cant even open these two resources. reshacker opens all the rest of the resources in this file except these two bitmaps and shows error if i click on bitmaps-516 or 517.... weird!!

Hello
You can use Restorator 2007 or Resource Tuner

got it. edit ehres.dll in the windows/ehome folder to replace the needed resources to customize your media centre background. example in the attachment - 'media centre.jpg'.


also, edit wmploc.dll in windows/system32 to get custom background in windows media player. example as in the attachment - 'wmp12.jpg'

can integrate the modified files into the install.wim itself to have the desired bkground right out of the box...

Thnx guys.

can anyone provide me with a cool looking 'layered circular loading animation' in gif format??? if no gif, then the seperate frames will do, but they must be named in the proper order. something similar to the images i attached. and, i would prefer it without the percentage numbers or signs.

some games often come with similar cool looking loading screens or door locks, but i havent been able to find their gif animated versions.... check out the swf files... if anyone has them or finds links for such gif files, please reply.

note: i need animated gif only or its frames. other formats wont do...

i am trying to replace the powderpuff animation during win7 setup....



edit 1:

can anyone tell me how the start menu got a image in its bkground, as in the theme.jpg file???

also, any idea how to give win7 explorer a bkground, as in the explorer.png file???

how do i put a 'pinned to start menu' shortcut into the wim??? what i mean is, i have this small prog called start orb changer which i plan to insert into the windows folder in the wim. then i plan to have a shortcut to this prog and pin the shortcut to start menu. i know how to add the prog. it is standalone and needs no install, just copy it into the wim...but how do i make the shortcut to it and pin it into the start menu inside the wim???

since the user is not created till late I do it this way
I copy all my shortcuts from the Start to a folder here \sources\$OEM$\$1\Install\Start
Export this reg with the Start menu set the way you want it

CMD /C REG EXPORT "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartPage2" D:\Se7en_UA\uaDVD\sources\$OEM$\$1\Install\StartPage2.reg

Run this in like your firstlogoncommands. Just create a FirstLog.cmd file and run it from there

REM      Start Menu Pinned
CMD /C attrib -H "%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned"
CMD /C MD "%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\StartMenu"
timeout /t 1
CMD /C copy "%systemdrive%\Install\Start\*.*" "%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\StartMenu" /Y
timeout /t 1
CMD /C attrib +H "%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned"
REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\Install\StartPage2.reg

            <FirstLogonCommands>
                <SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add">
                    <Order>2</Order>
                    <Description>Running FirstLog.cmd</Description>
                    <CommandLine>cmd /C start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\FirstLog.cmd</CommandLine>
                </SynchronousCommand>
            </FirstLogonCommands>

think that covers it all
