I'm using the latest nLite avaliable (1.0 RC8) and it don't creates the winnt.sif file... I've found in the nLite directory 2 files (last_session.ini an last_session_u.ini) and tried to put

[Shell]
CustomDefaultThemeFile = "%WinDir%\Resources\Themes\mythemename.theme"

in that files, but doesn't work... (I've putted one .bat file to copy the theme to \resources\themes folder, but cannot set it to default theme on windows instalation (only if I go to Properties > Themes and change it manualy)

anyone knows how to set my custom theme as default???

thanks =]

Well the way I do it is to drop my theme in the $oem$ folder under $$ resourse and a folder called themes.

I then add the entry into the winnt.sif file as ...


[Shell]
CustomDefaultThemeFile=%WinDir%\Resources\Themes\custom.theme

this is added after the componets section of the winnt.sif

this works for me plain and simple try cutting the name of the theme down so its less than 8 letters :-)

It shouldn't require quotes unless there is a sapce somewhere in the path. But then again, it doesn't hurt either.

is the %systemroot% variable needed? Can I use it without declaring the path and just use the theme name?

[Shell]
CustomDefaultThemeFile = Golden.theme

if the file Golden.theme is in the C:\Windows\Resources\Themes directory or in $OEM$\$$\Resources\Themes directory?

If I have
[VisualStyles]
Path=%SystemRoot%\Themes\Golden\Golden.msstyles
in Golden.theme

Where do I put the msstyles file? and the shellstyle?

Thank you,

John

Is it possible to make the windows setup use themes/visual styles? the windows that apear when you set up the time/date/... have the win2k look.

Thanks in advance and sorry if I posted in the wrong thread.
