Some questions about exporting themes/files
I've created a theme for a few friends, it's got a customized start button, a different desktop background, a different cursor, a different colour scheme and different fonts. If went into my themes folder and dragged the themename.theme into a rar folder and then someone extracted it and installed it, would everything work or would I have to include the images in a seperate folder (the background/start button)?
Any help would be appreciated!  | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP

If you created a folder with all the theme components then you must include it with the .theme file in your rar file. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell Dimension E521

Welcome to the Seven Forums
Most of that can be done by creating a Theme Pack Theme Pack - Create, Save, Install, and Delete As long as the cursor and the fonts are default installed by Windows but for the Start Button That Will Have To Be Done Manually or with a Start Button Changer.

Jerry Thanks, if they wanted the custom start button, would I have to include the image and the Start Button Changer tool? Is there no way to have it done automatically when you install the theme? | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP
