====================================================Setup Design:====================================================1. regsvr32 /i themeui.dll will put the prefered .theme and .mstheme files for profiles into HKLM,Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Themes,InstallTheme & InstallVisualStyle This will be based on policies. It will also call a uxtheme API to give it a chance to register.
Setup will specify the following default values for the machine: x86 Personal: Consumer.theme & Consumer.mstheme x86 Professional: Professional.theme & Professional.mstheme Other: None
2. WinLogon will then call "themeui!DllInstall(TRUE, "/UserInstall")" per user login for the first time. This will happen for new and upgrade users.
3. If the user login: a. isn't roaming b. doesn't have the high contrast SPI_GETHIGHCONTRAST bit set. c. the login isn't safe mode
Then the default theme/visual style will be installed for the local user.
4. The one exception is that the background will not be set if the user already has one specified.

\nt\ds\security\gina\msgina\thememanager.cppCThemeManager::Entry() calls uxtheme!InitUserTheme()
====================================================Cleanup Todo:====================================================If I have time for clean up, this is what I would do:
1. Have Adv Dlg scale values so the fonts fit in them.
