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: |

Can't download it as MediaFire flags the file as dangerous

Any chance of getting the source code on GitHub etc?

Any chance of getting the source code on GitHub etc? Ok, I've replaced the exe with a zip containing the .txt scripts you need to copy to C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock\WindowFX\Scripts . Sorry for the previous sketchy method. I didn't realise Teknix had included code that cracks WindowFX, which I don't support. His version was still safe though; it just triggered false positives. |

Which animations are the minimize and maximize ones supposed to be in this list? I've managed to find the close and open animations, but not these two...  |

View AttachmentThey don't exist actually, at least scripts that were meant to recreate the Windows 7 style; IIRC the minimize and maximize animations don't account for the position of the icon in the taskbar. Those two can be left as the Windows 10 ones by default |

For me the opening animation doesn't work properly, either the window opens first staticly and I can see the animation happens under it somehow, or the window opens first with the w10 animation and then disappears to do the windows 7 one
I'm mostly sure this is a WindowFX issue rather than your script's issue

I found that when I disabled "Animate windows when minimizing and maximizing" (the default Windows 10 animation option) the WindowFX animation seems to play fine again |

theinsane101 so i got the scripts working, but ive noticed that your missing some animations. how can i create a animation for maximize and minimize? Unfortunately, Windows 10 changed the minimise animation such that it can't be recreated. In Windows 7 - 8.1, the animation adapts its 3D transform based on the position of the program's icon on the taskbar. This was removed in Windows 10, and WindowFX isn't able to make the animations dependent on the icon's position. If there WAS a minimise script, the animation would stay the same no matter where the icon is.
As for the maximise, Windows 7 had no animation. The latest version of Aero10 has that animation removed too. No additional script is needed.
