Themes - Customize Information, Settings, and Name

   Note

This is what you will need:

• Notepad or Notepad++
• Copy of the original Aero folder + aero.theme file from the Themes folder (C:\Windows\Resources\Themes)

This is how:

1. First come up with a name for the theme

2. Now edit the folder name, the theme file name and the aero.msstyles.mui file name in the En-Us folder. (So they all match like: SG9Designs/SG9Designs.msstyles and SG9Designs/En-Us/SG9Designs.msstyles.mui)

3. Open the name.theme file with Notepad
NOTE: I've marked out in red below what you need to change to change the name.
