cooking: default theme and mapping hardware keys

[Guest thekevster]

this should be the last of my noob cooking questions for a while.

first off, how do you enable a certain theme as default? say i wanted the classic blue theme to be automatically enabled on first boot, how would i go about doing that? and will it work for themes cooked in as OEM packages.

also, how do you cook in mapping hardware keys. i want to set main menu press as <OK/Close> and Camera hold as <Input Panel> whenever the ROM first boots, without having to do it manually every time.

thanks in advance! :(

ClassicBlue is set as default and will trigger on first boot. that is why a lot of chefs build themes based on classicblue. In other words replace the classicblue graphics with yours. There is however, a reg setting for this but I don't remember it.

For the hard button these are the reg keys you are interested in. The can be found in OEM_Lang_xxxx in the xxxxxxxx.rgu file

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys\40C4]

"Default"="\"\\Windows\\Start Menu\\Programs\\Media\\Camera.lnk\""

"ResetCmd"="\"\\Windows\\Start Menu\\Programs\\Media\\Camera.lnk\""

"Flags"=dword:00000000

"Icon"="\\windows\\ButtonIconRes.dll, 2"

"Name"="Camera hold"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys\40C3]

"Default"=""

"Flags"=dword:0000000c

"BtnWnd"=dword:00000000

"WndCls"=""

"ResetCmd"="\"\\Windows\\Start Menu\\Programs\\Photo Slides.lnk\""

"Icon"="\\windows\\ButtonIconRes.dll, 2"

"Name"="Camera"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys\40C2]

"Default"=""

"Flags"=dword:0000000a

"WndCls"=""

"BtnWnd"=dword:00000000

"ResetCmd"="\"\\Windows\\Voice Command.lnk\""

"Icon"="\\windows\\ButtonIconRes.dll, 1"

"Name"="Main Menu hold"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys\40C1]

"Flags"=dword:00000004

"BtnWnd"=dword:00000000

"WndCls"=""

"Default"=""

"ResetCmd"="\"\\Windows\\Start Menu\\Programs\\Main Menu.lnk\""

"Icon"="\\windows\\ButtonIconRes.dll, 1"

"Name"="Main Menu"

thanks! i had a feeling they were going to be in the rgu file :(

whenever i cook, it doesnt seem to set any particular theme as default. this is a screenie of my base build on first boot and themes werent removed in the cooking process.

it might be the kitchen itself though, im using the visual version of oskitchen posted by smaury

i want to be able to have classicblue enabled so i can overwrite classicblue files with the gchris theme files.

This is classicblue. Look in the SYS in base_dpi for the classic blue stuff. If you want a specific theme you can alter it or once a theme is set copy the reg settings and import to your personal reg settings in the OEM folder to make it pop on first boot. (You'll need that theme cooked in to work...)

thanks lioryte! i always thought classicblue was the theme that was darker blue with the rays of orange yellow coming in the from the top right of the screen. i have the theme i wanted to use in a cab, so i assume i could just convert it to EXT package and copy over the files to base_dpi if the file names are all the same, right?

My bad ur right thats classicblue

Yes you can just make sure the files are the same-gif for gif, png for png...

worked perfectly :(

might try working on some themed ROMS now if i can ever get photoshop down lol

do you know where the microsoft themes are located at? (classicblue, vera wang red, r&r black, etc.)

i want to copy the files from classicblue over to the dpi folder mentioned earlier so that classicblue is running on first boot on my base ROMS.

In SYS under themes are all the themes but classicblue

Classicblue is at redist

Also no need to do it like that just on the omnia choose classicblue than just copy the reg. settings to your zzzreg@the OEM folder to make it start
