Default Theme

[dopefish]

I thought I already knew the answer but I guess I'm still missing something.

I've got the computer so that when at the domain logon screen it presents my Royale theme and under my admin account it presents my Royale theme but whenever someone else logs into the computer they are set to Luna. I thought I could send the admin 'local settings' directory to the 'default user' directory and that would take care of it but it didn't.

Thanks,

Hmm, a little slow to respond around here? ;)

I found a partial solution which had some steps I already completed within it posted here:

The rest is a bunch of deep seeded junk in the registry but not hard to change, I'll post the specific ones here later as I feel this could benefit several people looking to do what I am.

What he's trying to say is that you bumped way too soon. I think the rule around here is let either 24 or 48 hours pass, and then bump. Plus, there may be no one who knows how to fix your problem. :/

I didn't even understand his question...

When changing visual styles they are not set the same to every user account.. The user gotta change the theme on his user himself.

Ah okay, I'll keep that in mind for the future.

Each user account is created with the default Luna theme and the default color scheme of Blue these settings are hidden within the registry under the following keys.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\

InstallTheme

InstallVisualStyle

InstallVisualStyleColor

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\DefaultVisualStyleOn\

InstallVisualStyle

InstallVisualStyleColor

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\LastTheme (This one may not require modification)

ThemeFile

Wallpaper

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ThemeManager\

ColorName

DllName

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\

InstallTheme

InstallVisualStyle

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Thememgr\

DllName

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Thememgr\

DllName

ColorName

With those modified to whatever theme you like it will assure that whomever logs into the system will start with that theme. They can still change it if they'd like but this will become the default instaed of Luna Blue.
