Solved Some questions about exporting themes/files

[jloc]

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!

If you created a folder with all the theme components then you must include it with the .theme file in your rar file.

Most of that can be done by creating a Theme Pack http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/2026-theme-pack-create-save-install-delete.html 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.

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?
