How to apply custom theme?

[niceguy75]

Hi guys,

I wish to apply a custom theme with autoit. Please give me the script which can apply a theme named "simplicity.theme" and also close personalization window after applying the theme.

Please help me guys, I am very new to Autoit and I don't know how to use autoit for applying themes.

ShellExecute(@MyDocumentsDir & "\simplicity.theme")
WinWait("Display Properties") 
ControlClick("Display Properties", "", "Button3")

ShellExecute(@MyDocumentsDir & "\simplicity.theme")
WinWait("Display Properties") 
ControlClick("Display Properties", "", "Button3")

Not working, I guess location is not right in the script, location of theme file is "C:\Windows\Resoruce\Themes".

Then just change the path specified for the theme.

You should be able to manage to do that at least.

Come on brother, I have already tried. But not working even after changing the location of the theme file.

Secondly when I place that file in the MyDocument folder the theme was applied successfully but the personalization window is not closing. I want that window to be closed by Autoit as well.

Hi,

this works for me on WIN XP Sp3:

ShellExecute("C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes" & "\luna.theme")
WinWait("Display Properties") 
ControlClick("Display Properties", "OK", "Button3")

Without "OK" in function call ControlClick the window doesn't close!?!

Maybe it's just me, but the way you word your statements makes me perceive you as someone who is lazy and who isn't concerned with actually learning anything.

Either that or you don't know enough English to understand what the help file is saying.

Thanks brother but the personalization window is still not closing. I have tried with "personalization" in place of "Display Properties" as well, but still not closing the window.

@omikron48

We are not here to discuss about English. I can see how good your english is, just see your reply once again.

This forum is not too keen on lazy coders.

We like to help those that at least TRY to help themselves.

Replace ControlClick("Display Properties", "OK", "Button3") with WinClose("Display Properties").

Big grin,

you might add the WinClose after the ControlClick to get the changes...

Maybe for some reason or another the window information of the window that displays for him is different.

@niceguy75: Can you post the window information shown by Au3Info.exe so we can confirm that we're all in the same page here?
