    Save Sounds With Theme File - Change Icon Font Color?


    Hi - I'm trying to save a theme and a sound scheme associated with it. I can save all the theme elements but the sound scheme doesn't save with it. I know that my sound is working because I do hear sound from the computer speakers. Any ideas? Also, I was wondering if it is possible to change the icon font color from black to white and visa versa. I know that I was able to do this for previous OS's by changing the desktop color from black to white or visa versa using a theme manager. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

    How are you saving the theme? If your saving the theme as a themepackage, then windows will automaticly grab the sounds and save them with the themepackage. If you just save it as a theme and try to copy the .theme file, then that does not copy over the sounds when you move it to another computer.

    If you open up the theme file with notepad you will see that the theme does save your scheme and the individual sounds paths.

    About the colors, I believe you can still get to the old windows color chooser and change the colors there. I know its in the color personalization area. You just gotta look.

    Hope this helps.

    Save Sounds With Theme File - Change Icon Font Color?


    Hi - I'm saving the theme for sharing and then double clicking on the resulting file so that it is imported into the personalize area (had to do it this way instead of just save theme so that some technical issues would be solved). I look at the theme file in Notepad and it doesn't save the path for the sound scheme. It just shows "IDS_SCHEME_DEFAULT". Any ideas? Thanks!
