Changing default wm 6.1 theme

im using dcs latest kitchen. im trying to change the default theme, oems dont work and neither does deleting mxipcold_wpc_2.provxml...does anyone know how to do this?

Re: Changing default wm 6.1 theme

shouldn't be too hard, unless that ROM is buggy with themes should be an easy copy and past into the windows directory.

Re: Changing default wm 6.1 theme

oh trust me its in the windows directory. i even went to the today settings nd the theme is set to what i want! idk what to do here, i hear several people are having this problem.

Re: Changing default wm 6.1 theme

You can use OEMizer to set the default WM theme on the first bootup.

Re: Changing default wm 6.1 theme

There will be some examples of how to do this in the next OEM.rar for BuildOS.

Re: Changing default wm 6.1 theme

No with 6.1 you have to edit the mxipcold_wpc_2.provxml file, and then you can set your OEM, but set it right. If editing or removing the file doesn't work then your rom is either buggy or you have something conflicting in the .rgu's.

Re: Changing default wm 6.1 theme

Here is an example of setting up the Guava Bubbles theme with the provxml.

Note: You will need the xml contents from the .tsk, the .tsk itself, and the stwater.jpg from the .tsk.

Code:

<wap-provisioningdoc>

    <characteristic type="Registry">

        <characteristic type="HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today">

            <parm name="Skin" value="\Windows\Guava Bubbles.tsk" datatype="string"/>

            <parm name="UseStartImage" value="1" datatype="integer"/>

        </characteristic>

                <characteristic type="HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Color">

                        <parm name="5" value="2469" datatype="integer" />

                        <parm name="14" value="2469" datatype="integer" />

                        <parm name="34" value="2639" datatype="integer" />

                        <parm name="35" value="6871294" datatype="integer" />

                </characteristic>

    </characteristic>

    <characteristic type="FileOperation">

        <characteristic type="%CE2%" translation="install">

            <characteristic type="stwater.jpg" translation="install">

                <characteristic type="Copy">

                    <parm name="Source" value="%CE2%\Guava_stwater.jpg" translation="install" /> 

                </characteristic>

            </characteristic>

        </characteristic>

    </characteristic>

</wap-provisioningdoc>

Re: Changing default wm 6.1 theme

colonel, how do i set what picture is the portrait and which ones the landscape? i edited the provxml and set a picture and it didnt look right in landscape.

Re: Changing default wm 6.1 theme

Here is another example. Notice the stwater and tdywater and the corresponding numbers behind them. This will set the images for portrait and landscape.

Now, you don't really need to do the copying of the files and you could just name them to begin with. However this is a little safer as it avoids any file conflicts during the build and makes sure the proper files are in place on boot.

Again, if this is still confusing, hang tight until the new buildOS and OEM.rar is released. These will be in there. I am also trying to get tiermann to include this in OEMizer.
