I've got a question. I've recently updated my copy of Windows 11 from 21h2 to 23h2, due to the fact that something got messed up in the original files, leading to constant blue screens. I've noticed an odd trend happening now. I switch the color of the classic theme over to the Windows Standard color, but every time I turned my computer back on, it reverts the color back to the default Windows 11 classic theme colors. Did something happen to the classic theme coloring system between builds 21h2 and 23h2? Did you rename the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\DefaultColors\Standard? |

I have a low spec PC and it would be nice to find the best mod combination to approach a Windows 98 Theme in Windows 10, as my resources are limited and I cannot use OpenGL aside from 1.0 and 1.1 (CPU Versions).
Does anyone know a combination I can use to get it CLOSE enough?

Well, yes there are.
I mean it's not like you would just install something, turn it on and everything works as expected.
But on the whole it is possible to make Windows 10 look like a (botched up) version of Windows 7 with classic theme.
Botched up just because there are things missing (like control panel applets) that existed in Windows 7.
But if everything is set correctly and if you choose the right settings, the right tools and/or the right mods, it is useable as your main OS with classic theme, yes.

I can't try it right now but I think something like that is possible with the "ease of access" themes.

Noob, here, I see lots of cool things in this forum and want to learn how to do these. Is there a thread somewhere that explains how to get started or at least something explaining DWM? Or maybe an FAQ, sorry if this isn't the right place to ask

how do i install this? do i need a programme first? Select Theme10x64.exe. Open it once, then import the theme registry keys. You will be able to see the themes when you reopen Theme10x64.exe.
Otherwise, there are also versions for the old deskn.cpl, but this poses some compatibility problems with recent versions of Windows. |

Noob, here, I see lots of cool things in this forum and want to learn how to do these. Is there a thread somewhere that explains how to get started or at least something explaining DWM? Or maybe an FAQ, sorry if this isn't the right place to ask Indeed, I started writing a FAQ of my own (for the moment only on the classic theme, but in the future on other customization subjects). To put it simply (which is complicated, because the subject is not simple) on operation, DWM is the current window manager of the Windows system; it is he who manages the display of the windows. Historically, it was not him, but, DWM appeared in Windows Vista (in Vista and 7, it was activated with the Aero glass theme, where the Basic and Classic themes were managed by the old one) then supplanted the old window manager starting with Windows 8 It was still possible to unofficially get the old window manager in 8, but in 10 and 11 this makes the system unusable for production). Fortunately, it is possible to get basic and classic themes with DWM. The classic theme is what is displayed when the visual style is disabled, and the basic theme is what is displayed when DWM does not draw its window frames. In addition, there are several methods to modify the DWM window frame, for example to have transparency as in Windows 7, or to have a centered window title as in Windows 8...
That's it for the technical part, afterwards, it all depends on what you want to customize... This forum contains several sections: if you want to customize a particular program, you have to go to "Software general". If you want to customize an element of the file explorer or the taskbar, you must go to "Windows Shell". If you want to activate the classic theme, you have to go to “Classic Theme General”. If you want to customize another theme, you have to go to "Visual Style". If you want to explore Windhawk mods (perhaps on any customization topic), you can go to "Windhawk Mods".
