User defined custom Windows theme is not saved during roaming profile syncronization

Hi,

We are using VMware View 5.3 and are using non-persistent floating pools,

We have Windows 8.1 desktops in a 2012 domain. The user profiles is roamed to a file server during logon and logoff. (Because we use View 5.3.3 we cannot use persona management for Windows 8.1).

We have excluded most folders under appdata\roaming and appdata\local and was also excluding \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Themes, but included this folder again in the roaming profile when trying to fix this issue.

Our problem is that the users is saving a custom Windows theme, but when logging out and in again the settings is still there, but after a while the custom color settings is set back to Windows defaults.

Therefore most of the settings under Local appdata and all localow appdata files and configurations is reset at logoff for users.

What is the required files/folders/registry keys to fully support custom Windows themes ? If we have that info we can include the necessary files in our user enviroment.

We have not found any userful info on the web for this specific issue and hope somebody can get us in the right direction.

So the settings disappear after a while?

You sure thats not a group policy doing that?

we have not set the group policy for standard theme. ("load a specific theme") in Personalization.

But I forgot to mentioned that the color settings is reverted after disconnect of the View client and when the user connects again into the active session,
