Add themes and iconspack to ISO???

For theme, what I do

Place the theme files in the corresponding directories (mounted image)
Name_of_theme.theme in Windows\Resources\Themes
Name_of_theme.msstyles in Windows\Resources\Themes\aero

Add these keys to the registry with NTLite for the light theme
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes]
"InstallTheme"="X:\\Windows\\resources\\Themes\\Name_of_theme.theme"
"InstallThemeLight"="X:\\Windows\\resources\\Themes\\Name_of_theme.theme"
"InstallVisualStyle"="%ResourceDir%\\themes\\Aero\\Name_of_theme.msstyles"

For the dark theme, replace this key
Code:
"InstallThemeDark"="X:\\Windows\\resources\\Themes\\Name_of_theme.theme"

And for this key, it is in HEX when imported/exported
It's best if the theme is already installed, export these registry keys and add them to the ISO/image

Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ThemeManager]
"DllName"=hex(2):xxx xxxx xxx xxx

Don't forget to replace the themeui.dll and uxinit.dll files (system32) with the patched dlls in the image/ISO, otherwise it will be the Windows default theme
