How to load new x-server.sys files

[Námumaður]

Hey Guys,
Maybe one of you found out how to do it: When you are a bit into the game you get the possibility of downloading new x-server files like the CSEC_x-server.sys file which i suppose are new styles for the hud. However, when i reboot there is no option to tell the machine to reboot with one of those files instead of the default one. Maybe i have just not found it yet? Any ideas?

Option one: Get the Themechanger.exe from the CSEC asset cache and use that to change it, (you have to have the theme files in the same directory as Themechanger I think)

Option 2: Do it manually, download a theme you want into /sys (it'll automatically end up there), then remove the old x-server.sys or rename it to something else, then you just rename the new theme (most likely called mint-x-server.sys or something like that) x-server.sys and do a reboot -i

hi year i tried option 2 but have no clue how the rename a file in that game... there is a command for changing text in a file ok but it diden't work for me at the filename itselfe

[Forward. Always.]

i think the proper way is @elsarild's 1st option. run themechanger.exe and a list of x-server will appears in ram's termminal

You just use the move command, like so:

[Command] [File to move/rename] [New file name]

So renaming the old one would be

mv x-server.sys backup_x-server.sys

The file should new be called "backup_x-server.sys", now you just need to rename the new theme x-server.sys ,

hmm ok i did that one mission and got the themchanger so im fine in that way now but i will try this too ty.
however, editing a file in this game is rly strange. can it rly only be done with the rename command? i mean i wanted to change an academic report but only with rename that beyond retarted in my oppinion, or im just to stupid to do it properly with this command...

Here's what you need to do (without themechanger)

1) Transfer the old x-server.sys file
2) Rename / Move the old x-server.
3) Rename the new x-server.sys
4) Reboot.

Here's a complete command list of what I did:
Note: "//" marks the start of my comments for the command. Don't include it and the comments when entering the command.

... first off, what csec mission did you do before having access to theme changer, i just did affirmation, so tht might be it. second off, its a twitch copy, before somone looks in my library and doesn't see hacknet. please, i'm sick and tired of naix's x-server. it looked cool with the layout and background, but now it's really gotten old, and i dont want to be stuck in terminal if i mess up.

Glad to see im not the only one to make that mistake an then go wtf.. why is it rebooting like this.

[002crypt]

mv "your new x-server" "x-server.sys"

And delete your old x-server.sys then reboot
