Windows 7 Theme Integration


Orsi

Recommended Posts

Im trying to integrate a theme and set it as default in my Win 7 Setup

I added the theme file to install.wim / Windows\Resourses\Themes, its wallpapers to Windows\Web\Wallpaper and set the following entry to Autounattend.xml in the oobe section:

[code <Themes>

<ThemeName>Gothic</ThemeName>

<WindowColor>Slate</WindowColor>

</Themes>]

Everything works. It becames the default theme and so on, although its wallpapers dont behaves as it should and when I look at the installed themes it shows 2 gothic themes. One with only wallpaper and the second with all of them set to shuffle as I want, but its style is the classic one, instead of Aero

Any help to set the second as the default and make it work as a Aero theme?

<Themes> is not used to apply a copied theme its used to create one (CustomDefaultThemeFile did this and does not work anymore)

CustomDefaultThemeFile specifies the path to a customized theme file. These files may include a .bmp file for customized wallpaper.

Notes

This setting is deprecated.

To define the default theme in Windows® 7, use the settings: BrandIcon, DesktopBackground, ScreenSaver, ThemeName, and WindowColor. You may also use a .theme file to add themes. Adding a default theme by using a .theme file is no longer supported.

Here is an example how its used properly (just need to add the images, the .theme is generated)

<Themes>
<ThemeName>Fabrikam Theme</ThemeName>
<DefaultThemesOff>false</DefaultThemesOff>
<DesktopBackground>%WINDIR%\web\wallpaper\fabrikam.jpg</DesktopBackground>
<BrandIcon>%programfiles%\Fabrikam\fabrikam-logo.png</BrandIcon>
</Themes>

This creates a theme named oem.theme in %localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Themes

Whats wrong with it?

Is there a most efficient way to integrate a theme besides the simple "mount, copy and commit" way?

ADDING A DEFAULT THEME BY USING A .THEME FILE IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED.

There are two themes because the XML code creates a oem.theme with the name Gothic (look in post above for the path) it will NOT apply the gothic.theme you have copied inside the wim
