In order to force a theme, enter for example ACER (capital letters) only in this

text file,
deleting all other text within this txt file leaving JUST the brand name and
nothing else.

Put this txt file in the scripts folder with the oobe.cmd, DeCompile.exe and
OEM's7z files.

This will force the theme you wish to install automatically overriding any detected
during
MRP's branding script. You MUST spell the brand name correctly or you may get wrong
branding
or the Windows default theme.

You can also use CUSTOM for the brand name, you must edit the files within the
CUSTOM
folder to your requirements as they are blank templates within OEM's.7z at present.

Information on how to edit the .theme/.reg/.xml files can be found on the internet,
also
make sure the resolutions for the User810.bmp, and other picture files are exactly
as they
are set in the default CUSTOM folder.

Wallpaper.jpg and BackgroundDefault.jpg's MUST be less than 255kb in size to be


fully
compatible with Vista/7 and any Server's using those kernels. For Win 8.x + the
restriction is not present but try to keep the file size less than 2mb or delays
for
the desktop to appear may occur due to extra processing time to display the
image(s).

Due to a new Force_Theme error/parse routine the following OEM brands have had some
filename
changes within the brand's folder to be compatible with the new routine.

Hannspree
Impression
PBell (Packard Bell)
TwinHead
WortMann
Zoostorm

If you use the forced theme method to bypass MRP's standard theme/branding routine,
you will
need to use the new OEM's.7z file which will be provided as usual with a new MRP
release, or
you will get failure messages if using any of the above brands using the Forced
bypass system
with a previous version of the OEM's file.

When using the Forced theme method, please make sure you spell the brand name
correctly within
the Force_Theme_[readme].txt file, or MRP will inform you that something is wrong
and will, as
a fail safe, use the Windows default theme regardless if MRP had detected any brand
name via its
normal methods.

All other brands are not affected and for normal non forced you can still use the
older OEM's.7z.

You can still use your own wallpapers, the file names affected was the logo ones
such as brand_badge.bmp.
