Hello guys,

I have Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate Edition SP1 x64 bits on a 500 GB drive and OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 on another 500 GB drive... Chimera 3.0.1 bootloader is on an old 2GB USB stick and the computer's boot is on the USB stick first, I choose OS that I want to boot on every computer startup. It's cool but Chimera 3.0.1 is very ugly... I want to add an Apple Boot Camp theme ! It's possible ? I've searched on Google many times but I've no answers to my question... I've found this topic (http://www.tonymacx86.com/customization/40200-bootcamp-theme-chameleon-chimera.html) but... How I can install this theme ? o_O

Sorry for my bad English :crazy:, I'm French !

Thanks for your answers,

Steven

Yes, You can. Download it, unzip it, and drag it to /Extra/Themes folder.

Last thing: open org.chameleon.Boot.plist and change the name of current theme (Default?) to the Apple Boot Camp (or whatever the name of that theme folder is).

Something like this:

Code: 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>AtiConfig</key>
    <string>Baboon</string>
    <key>AtiPorts</key>
    <string>4</string>
    <key>DSDT</key>
    <string>/Extra/DSDT.aml</string>
    <key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
    <string>Yes</string>
    <key>GenerateCStates</key>
    <string>Yes</string>
    <key>GeneratePStates</key>
    <string>Yes</string>
    <key>Graphics Mode</key>
    <string>"1920x1080x32"</string>
    <key>Hide Partition</key>
    <string>hd(1,2) hd(1,3) hd(2,2)</string>
    <key>Rename Partition</key>
    <string>hd(1,1) System; hd(2,1) Win8Pro</string>
    <key>IGPEnabler</key>
    <string>Yes</string>
    <key>Kernel</key>
    <string>mach_kernel</string>
    <key>SMBIOS</key>
    <string>/Extra/smbios.plist</string>
    <key>SystemType</key>
    <string>3</string>
    [COLOR=#ff0000]<key>Theme</key>
    <string>Apple Boot Camp</string>[/COLOR]
    <key>Timeout</key>
    <string>2</string>
    <key>UseKernelCache</key>
    <string>Yes</string>
</dict>
</plist>

That's all.

Edit:
As I can see now, theme folder name is Default.
So, You can - rename the folder, or just drag&drop everything from that folder to ''Default'' folder in Themes.
In that case, leave the name ''Default'' in plist.
