hey
i have just searched the forum and found the reg tweaks that sets theme and wallpaper

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
;sets custom theme
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes]
"InstallTheme"="%WinDir%\Resources\Themes\royal.theme"
"InstallVisualStyle"="%WinDir%\Resources\Themes\royalmod\royalmod.msstyles"

;Set Custom Wallpaper
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"TileWallpaper"="0"
"Wallpaper"="%windir%\\web\\wallpaper\\maniaq.jpg"
"Wallpaperstyle"="2"

but i'm getting this:


but when i manualy set the the theme in properties>appearance it looks like this:


so basicaly i need to set the theme one more time.......
where the problem???
p.s. i use ryanvm's update pack, where is the uxtheme.dll

I have the same problem with context menus:
everything else is fine with the theme

check the border of the bad version:
 menuBad.jpg (9.79K)
Number of downloads: 30

and after manually setting the theme:
 menuGood.jpg (9.36K)
Number of downloads: 31

[raduking]

theme has not fully loaded
so i suggest to load theme from runonce
what i have done is
called
%windir%system32\resources\.........\*.theme or *.msstyle

or just use autoit

[maniaq]

i can run from cmdlines also?

i don't understand

executing a theme file just opens up the Display Properties->Theme tab

what didn't yu understand?

[maniaq]

i think we can run the reg file over the cmdlines.txt file


reg file code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
;sets custom theme
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes]
"InstallTheme"="%WinDir%\Resources\Themes\royal.theme"
"InstallVisualStyle"="%WinDir%\Resources\Themes\royalmod\royalmod.msstyles"

;Set Custom Wallpaper
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"TileWallpaper"="0"
"Wallpaper"="%windir%\\web\\wallpaper\\maniaq.jpg"
"Wallpaperstyle"="2"

cmdlines.txt code

"REGEDIT /S reg_name.reg"

..................going to test it............

p.s. edit the reg file for your theme.....

that
calling %windir%system32\resources\.........\*.theme just opens the display properties it doesn't change the theme...

Help is on the way. Here is an executable that will change your theme. Just call it from a batch file or whatever. Credit belongs to someone else, unfortunately I can't remember where I got this program and a quick search on Google reveals nothing. If anyone knows where this came from, let us know =]

Download ApplyTheme.exe

[Achdine]

ApplyTheme is from a post on these forums. Original post. It's just a script for opening the theme dialog, and I'm not sure it works from CmdLines.txt. It does work when you run it at first login, which is where I use it.

[maniaq]

do i need to rename the applytheme.exe to applytheme royal.exe or what??

Without Quotes, run this from a cmd prompt or a batch file:

"ApplyTheme.exe Royale"

tested doesn't work either
it's even worse:

if I apply the visual style by hand everything is fine
but when I try to apply it with ApplyTheme it reverts it back
to the wrong way of showing the theme (from my first post in this thread)

the same thing happened to me, yu need to install the theme before using applytheme, use this reg:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ThemeManager]
"LoadedBefore"="1"
"LMVersion"="103"
"LMOverRide"="1"
"ThemeActive"="1"
"DllName"=hex(2):25,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,52,00,6f,00,6f,00,\
  74,00,25,00,5c,00,52,00,65,00,73,00,6f,00,75,00,72,00,63,00,65,00,73,00,5c,\
  00,74,00,68,00,65,00,6d,00,65,00,73,00,5c,00,4c,00,75,00,6e,00,61,00,5c,00,\
  4c,00,75,00,6e,00,61,00,2e,00,6d,00,73,00,73,00,74,00,79,00,6c,00,65,00,73,\
  00,00,00

this is for royale theme, yu could manualy get the reg from your own windows.....


as for applytheme.exe ...i can put and run it from where ever i want, right?

I tried this also...
doesn't work

as a matter of fact this was the way I was doing it in the first place before asking here

[oioldman]

Why not apply your theme via the winnt.sif file during your install?
I and many do it this with create success, if you search for RoyaleTheme you'll get many results but is the correct one.

Can't add more as at work and can't remember it all of top of head.
