Windows 7 window open & close animation scripts for WindowFX

I found a Stardock tutorial on how to make custom animation scripts for WindowFX and asked in the ClassicServ and WindHawk Discord servers if anyone had the time and ability to read and understand the guide and try to make scripts for the Windows Vista - 8.1 window open and close animations, as I am unable to do so myself (I don't have the time nor coding experience to even understand what the tutorial said; i tried). 

Fortunately, Mancha and Juan both worked together and gave it a try, and 2 days later, they managed to create those scripts! They aren't 100% visually accurate, especially the close animation, because WindowFX doesn't have the ability to control the easing of animations, and Windows 7's animations use easing-out, especially for the close animation. 

Regardless, the members in the server were satisfied with the scripts, so I put them all in a zip. They asked me to announce it here in the forum, so here you go!

Note: this only works if you have WindowFX. If you do, copy the .txts in here into C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock\WindowFX\Scripts folder. Once you've added the scripts and selected them in the configuration window, set the open animation to a speed of 0.234 and the close speed to 0.200. To get these exact numbers, enter the registry, go to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Stardock\WindowFX4\WindowFX.ini\Global" and set "CloseAnimationSpeed" to 200, then set "OpenAnimationSpeed" to 234.)

Note that Windows 7's actual close animation is 0.3 seconds long, but without the easing, the script version looks too slow, so you have to speed it up to make it look better.

Here's what the final result should look like:
