    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! :)

    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 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.

    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?

    You would have to provide the image and a link to the tool.
