![]()  is this good or no? NO it looks Terrible and Inaccurate! I will list 5 things and even show you an image what Windows XP is suppose to look like. This is what a real Windows XP looks like:  Now, compare this image to yours, and you will see exactly what is wrong with your Windows XP theme on Windows 10. It looks like a crappy knock-off and a bad attempt to mimic Windows XP. The reasons why yours looks bad and inaccurate: 1. Start Menu: The layout and size of the icons are incorrect. The placement of the Power and Log Off buttons is also wrong. It looks like a garbage knock-off. 2. Taskbar: When comparing my Windows XP SP3 in a Virtual Machine to your version, the taskbar buttons resemble Windows 10's more than XP's. The taskbar is a flat line instead of the style shown in my image. Additionally, your system tray looks terrible and incorrect. Windows XP's system tray icons are not monochrome and have a 3D skeuomorphic icon design while yours just looks flat, ugly, and minimalistic. The green Start button and blue taskbar is there, but aqua color for the system tray are missing. Windows XP doesn't have Windows 10's Action Center or OneDrive. 3. Icons: The desktop icons are too big, and the icons in the Start Menu are also oversized. You still have some Windows 10 icons mixed in. I love attention to detail, so if you're going to make your Windows 10 look like Windows XP, at least try to make it as accurate as possible, like the one in the image I pasted above. The only good thing about your screenshot is the Windows Media Player skin, which looks good. I'm just very critical when inspecting the finest details and comparing them to the actual thing. |

Still the same as before but i guess a different wallpaper and light mode. (Am happy with it so why change it lul)  Oh yeah, enabled SAB's Dark Magic module for some style improvements to the 5 win32 apps i use that use native controls (and square corners).  |
