    Sorry, but M17x-R2 is only supported at the moment.
    @offtopic

    Does the R3 have same Theme and Wallpaper as R2 does ?
    If so, please post me a DxDiag ScreenShot, so i can Add R3 into this Module.

    Same basic theme and wallpaper yes, I think there are a few additional options on the wallpapers from the factory though. Here's a screenshot for you:

    Thanks for the screenshot. Added R3, and soon will be updating it. Additionally, what are the options do you get on Wallpapers?

    No other wallpaper options but log in screen options, I don't know that I have them anymore so maybe another R3 owner could load them. Nothing too special IMO.

    Updated the Utility.

    Added: M17x-R3.

    PS:
    If there is any other Global resource which has to be restored, please notify me. I'll add to the Utility. And do specify the link to the resource.
