The only issue here is the "16-bit Windows" theme like in Pinball and Paint.NET
I know they are minor but any way we can fix them (maybe a modified dwmapi.dll)?

Thank you! I'd rather replace it in system32, is that okay enough?

Your watercolor theme looks amazing Orthodox! I have a question, how do you all have the menubar in explorer? With the "Favorites, Help" buttons?

It's also possible to get a fake throbber via msstyles.

For the menus "favorites" and "help", it is also Travis it seems to me. Even if it is possible that I soon create a "first" version of Watercolor (a style that imitates the first Watercolor style). |

 Really big WIP... I know it's possibly been posted elsewhere and I've missed it, but if possible would you be able to send over the start menu? Many thanks |

Also, I'd like to mention that there is nothing you can really do about Pinball. I tried some fixes to no avail. I guess WinXP compatibility mode could do something since it likes to use the basic theme on Windows by default when you use that. |

I got it working!!! I installed a Windows XP VM, got its shell32.dll and extracted all the .AVI files needed and imported them into the PerigeeCopy file (that is attached)
to use it, just install PerigeeCopy, replace the PerigeeCopy.exe with the one attached to the post, run it and check "Use PerigeeCopy by default for file operations"

Also for those who are looking for the XP branding, here it is! While basebrd.dll.mui got modified to rename Windows 10 SKU equivalents to XP, basebrd.dll has each variant for each SKU. You can pick any SKU from the basebrd.dll, and replace it with such.
