    How to Change the Information of a Theme
    Published by
    Designer Media Ltd


       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.

    Code:
