If I install this, are these themes the default one, or do I still have to apply after?
Thanks for the work you put into these

Apply after.

@SolidasRock awesome link but u have to pay for osme of the themes.. and the main theme there "Brilliant" just looks so good....it would be kewl if someone made that theme addon (option to make it default too)

@avneet25, way ahead of you, from the second i laid eyes on that link, im packing everything together as we speak, if everything goes well i will release brilliant, as well as glow and powder which are two other free themes i love from that site.

--note yes i will be including all icons, toolbar buttons and everything else, no i will not make it load as default theme unless requested, and yes i will make convenient little shortcaties in accesories menu to switch between themes changin icons logon and everything with just one click,

but its gonna take a while so give me about a day or two

dgelwin, take your time, the last thing we want to see round here are sloppy, careless releases that havn`t been tested and don`t even work

dgelwin · Post by **dgelwin** » Thu Nov 17, 2005 12:02 am

hahaha, lol, yeah i know, thats why i havent released the other theme i made (Royal InspiratSE), im not finished testing it, when it comes to visual styles you will find in finiky about wanting them to be just right. jijijiji

avneet25 · Post by **avneet25** » Thu Nov 17, 2005 12:40 am

yeah take ur time mate...and maybe whileur at it ..if u could relse both version one to make default and one not too.. coz i for sure would like to make some of those themes default.. they are good

dgelwin · Post by **dgelwin** » Thu Nov 17, 2005 12:46 am

@avneet25,
to make them default i don have to recreate the entire theme addon, just create a separate addon to set the theme you want default, best part is its only 1kb in size a fraction of a sec to download, so you just let me know which you want and ill pm you with the file.

@dgelwin: Ah, I just had to register to say thanks.

incith · Post by **incith** » Sun Nov 27, 2005 12:01 pm

Noticed this in the .the files:

Code: Select all

[VisualStyles]
Path=%WinDir%resources\Themes\LE4A\LE4A.msstyles

Shouldn't it be %WinDir%\ ?

dgelwin · Post by **dgelwin** » Sun Nov 27, 2005 12:45 pm

in visual style files this Path=%WinDir%resources\Themes\LE4A\LE4A.msstyles is correct and %WinDir%\ is not, anywhere else in windows the opposite is correct.

--edit ive finally finsihed the two other themes, after testing them thoghroly i will release.

orcoxp · Post by **orcoxp** » Sun Nov 27, 2005 12:54 pm

Tested and it's working for me...even LE4A.msstyles

In most cases %WinDir% actually resolves to C:\Windows\ but using Path=%WinDir%\resources\Themes\LE4A\LE4A.msstyles should work too.

dgelwin · Post by **dgelwin** » Sun Nov 27, 2005 1:07 pm

thanks orco, i never realized it would work either way, i always lesft it simply %WinDir% because thats how windows leaves it in autogenerated theme files

incith · Post by **incith** » Sun Nov 27, 2005 2:21 pm

Cool, just making sure. I tried going to %WinDir% in explorer before posting, and it put me in C:\WINDOWS without a trailing \ (although I figure explorer may do that anyway, strip trailing slash), so I thought I'd mention it. The theme did work fine for me when I tested it tho, so I assumed it was probably right.

dgelwin · Post by **dgelwin** » Sun Nov 27, 2005 3:38 pm

if you open a command window and type set you will see a list of all variables exactly as they are, and %WinDir% does not have a trailing \. dont know why in theme files it doesnt need it but hey, as long as something works im not one to complain

incith · Post by **incith** » Mon Nov 28, 2005 6:09 am

Hm, I have another question about this pack -- why does it have two copies of everything? The files seem to be the same byte size (DLLs), it has LE4 and LE4a files. And the uxtheme.dll isn't used at all (not in entires_.ini).. :s

Edit: Ah, it comes that way from deviant.. weird.

keytotime · Post by **keytotime** » Mon Nov 28, 2005 7:51 am

The LE4a is with an different start menu button. The Uxtheme is needed to allow unsigned themes to run. If you want without the alternative start menu check out:

how do i make this the deafult theme

dgelwin · Post by **dgelwin** » Fri Dec 02, 2005 10:16 pm

if you have a winnt.sif file, just add this as the default theme entry.

avneet25 · Post by **avneet25** » Fri Dec 02, 2005 10:38 pm

umm so wats the exact entry i have to put..

dgelwin · Post by **dgelwin** » Fri Dec 02, 2005 10:52 pm

no clue i use a reg entry to set mine as default,

Post by **5eraph** » Sat Dec 03, 2005 1:42 am

I use this entry in WINNT.SIF to make the Royale theme default, change it to suit your needs:

Code: Select all

[Shell]
    CustomDefaultThemeFile="%SystemRoot%\Resources\Themes\royale.theme"

avneet25 · Post by **avneet25** » Sat Dec 03, 2005 3:21 pm

thx just wat i needed..works fine.. i even edited the theme file to put in a default wallpaper

Siginet · Post by **Siginet** » Sat Dec 31, 2005 5:20 pm

I went ahead and updated this theme for you Kel.

Now it doesn't use the txtsetup_dirs entry.

Updated! Don't forget to patch your uxtheme.dll!
