Still didnt work. Funny thing is that when I go into settings>today the correct theme is selected but still the menus are blue. Im gonna try one of the other steps you said and see what happens.

Alright, alright if you can help me port sys'es and xip's, I'll call you mentor, lol!!

It says that theme is selected, because that's what you wrote into your provxml file. You must have not edited the file quite right or something. No .tsk files will actually be loaded until you do so through customizations or manually in today settings. All the provxml file does is tell which theme related files to load, which is seperate from the actual .tsk files. The .tsk file has 2 images in it (for portrait and landcape backgrounds), and a bunch of registry entires that point to the correct image files for menus and stuff, and also have reg entries for color. The easiest thing to do (without anyone being to tell that you obviously cheated) is to just leave the provxml file alone. Then find the actual backgrounds you want (in the .tsk -- extract with wince cab manager), and rename them to calcu's default images, overwriting his images with yours. Then do the TSK install with customizations like I suggested earlier. That way when you boot the first time, your background will show, and then during customizations it will load the actual .tsk with the colors for menus that you want. Yes, it's cheating, but 99% of the rom users will never know (unless they watch very carefully during customizations, and know what's going on -- then again, they would likely be chefs if they did and would use their own rom).

Oh yeah also you need to edit the .rgu in the Tweaks - Registry OEM to reflect the name of your .tsk.

*edit* That was another thing I found after we got off messenger, Indagroove, which I'm sure you are using your own reg tweaks and didn't consider that, which would make sense.

Ah, that makes sense -- I was wondering what the heck..

Yeah so I tried editing the operator_config and that is exactly what happened, it installed the whole .tsk, background and all. Not what Im looking for cause I want to use my own background. Ill give the above a try and see if I can do it. Lol.

You'll prolly want to make your own .tsk then. That way you can switch to a different theme then back to yours. You need wince cabmanager. There's a free trial, and once you know what you're doing you can modify a .tsk in less than a minute. It's good for cabs too, obviously. It's really a necessity for any chef, IMO.

Don't search for any warez versions though, cause that's bad. Don't do bad things.
