Anyway to save a theme from W2k???

[Chad]

At work and at home I run Windows 2000. The other day at work was very slow so I spent some time under the "Appearance" tab and changed the color scheme for my system. I REALLY love it... I mean I spent a lot of time perfecting all of the system colors and I am very happy with it.

Well, I tried to duplicate it at home and I can't. In fact, my home system looks crappy now.

Is there anyway I can save this "theme" out to a file/files -something- so I can use it at home? I know Windows 98 could do this but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to do it on a Windows 2000 system.

Any help would instantly score you a 10 rating ( ) and of course I would be MOST greatfull and in your debt! I REALLLY want to do this REALLLY bad.


Please please please help, if you can.

Thanks! Love ya fellow AT'ers!!!!

Nevermind... I just wrote all of the number down for each and every color (booo).

There's a difference between a theme and a scheme. For future reference schemes are stored in the registry.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Appearance\Schemes

You can export this key from one computer and import it to the other.

Cool, thanks. Sorry about the Scheme/Theme confusion (I'm an idiot sometime(most of the time)s).

Thanks for the tip though!

BTW... if anyone wants to try this scheme out, email me at chadsparks@home.com and I'll email it to you (let me know what you think). It is so awesome looking, email me to try it out, you can always select back to what you have now if you don't like it.
