In Windows XP Pro, modify the winnt.sif then i can force my default theme for UXPCD upon first logon.


However, that does not work in windows MCE,
even I specify to use Vista theme as default, upon fist logon, Windows automatically use Royale theme.


So my qs is, what can be done so i dont see Original Royale?

Plz help, Thx in advance

Make your theme and then save it as luna theme. Now rename theme file to luna.the, compress and replace the one in your I386 folder with yours..

Open your winnt.sif file and add this :

[Shell]
	  CustomDefaultThemeFile="%windir%\Resources\Themes\"YOUR".Theme"
	  DefaultStartPanelOff = Yes

"YOU" = your theme name you want to use exam. : luna.Theme

Now make sure you have the following maps in your XPCD folder "

X:\xpcd\$OEM$\$$\Resources\Themes ( X stands for your drive )

In the themes folder you put your theme.

And the theme must be signed by Microsoft ... it not you must have the patched version of the dll ThemeUI.dll (I don't remember the name exaclty ...)

UXTheme.dll

This will NOT work. MCE applies the "Energy Bliss" on its own and ignores that setting.

First of all, I dont know if kelsenellenelvian's method works, but the rest, i tried. No luck...

Those methods worked fine with XP Pro but not MCE...

I have a thought of replacing the Royale theme file in I386; however, I can't seem to find it...

Anyone knows the file name? plz help



I'm trying kelsenellenelvian's method, will report if it works.

[nam265]

Alright i did the step, it didn't work...

kelsenellenelvian's method only makes changes to the LUNA.THEME file...

Energy Bliss still appear after my first boot.

ANy other suggestions?

I think the file your looking for is the Royale.mst file inside the MEDIACTR.CAB inside the CMPNENTS folder. Its exactly the same size as Royale.msstyles and works fine when renamed.

I am not sure how to repack the MEDIACTR.CAB though after replacing the file. RyanVM would probably know how though.
