IDK what you mean, but I set my titlebar height to 21 per the Aero10 README. My weather widget is VCloudsWeather2Big on Rainmeter. NO not that the Close Max and Min buttons are Captions Boxes are the same size as Windows 10's and not Windows 7's ![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/df/Aero_Example.png) They are suppose to look like this and be this size yours are the same size as Windows 10's/11's jumbo sized Captions Boxes they are the 3 actions on the upper left conner of the Window Titlebar. Thank you, you're right. I'm using AeroTweaker and I'll try and dive into that today.

With dwmurglass you can check an option to reduce title bar size. or with winaero chose the title bar size in light aero.

Okay guys I'm back and I have VirtualBox 7.0.20 up and running look at these screenshots I didn't want to do it on my Physical Hardware & Host OS so I used a Virtual Machine for that instead here take a look I have Windhawk installed, but for some reason DWMBlurGlass doesn't work in a sandboxed environment which terrifies me and this is why I use a Virtual Machine. So any thoughts, I would just love to hear them. ![](https://i.imgur.com/AJK7bLY.jpeg) ![](https://i.imgur.com/c5uYcRu.jpeg) ![](https://i.imgur.com/lmf8qjT.jpeg) ![](https://i.imgur.com/x5Xeupk.jpeg) Hey if anyone knows how to remove and disable the 2nd bar on the bottom of the File Explorer Window you know the one that looks likes Windows 8/10/11's its the small strip at the bottom it really annoys me.

Do you need aerexplorer? Because if you disable that and then use the mod “remove command bar” I think it should work

It looks very ugly right now but I could use some help on making it look prettier. It depends on whether you want to change just the size of the buttons, or how the buttons are aligned. If it's just changing the size, it's very simple, you have to use WinCassicThemeConfig. Otherwise, you have to use AWM or some Windhawks mods.

That looks cool where do I get PowerPro? It kinda looks like Ubuntu. Also did you reply to my message I sent to you in the DM. PowerPro is only distributed on a dedicated forum, created by the developer. At the time I installed it, this was not the case. I have registered for the forum, I will very soon be able to say more about what has evolved in the meantime. Anyway, PowerPro is quite complicated software that can create very complex toolbars, menus, multiple desktops, alarms and notes (I mostly use the toolbar and menu functions). I'm not the only one to use it, The Jackal uses it too.

I'm not the only one to use it, The Jackal uses it too. So I'm gonna assume their is no other method of getting it? Sounds like a very useful tool. Anyways... I live booted into Linux Mint on a Windows 10 VM and I ripped out alot of things that I found was bloatware I even got of some of the UWP and XAML components such as you know that Windows 10 has 2 Menus 1 Start Menu and 1 is the goddamn Search Menu no one likes I don't care that was a good idea or or not cause I have open shell and Startisback++ to replace the garbage Start Menu Search Feature I don't even get why that is separate? ![](https://i.imgur.com/smEGSXc.png) ![](https://i.imgur.com/oEVF5Qv.png) Man Microsoft Edge is so heavily integrated into Windows 10 and 11 that I had to use Linux Mint just to fully get rid of that piece of crap I even used Geek Uninstaller but Linux Mint really picked up the slack here this is a VM anyways. ![](https://i.imgur.com/pNi6FKy.png) ![](https://i.imgur.com/v5QhpVG.jpeg) ![](https://i.imgur.com/BmedNk6.jpeg) I dragged the Linux Mint Wallpapers into Windows 10 since they look so much nicer than Windows 10's and 11's whole section of Wallpaper. ![](https://i.imgur.com/XonLJJl.png) I tried to do that UAC Mod but it kinda failed. This was alot for me but this is so much better than simply using CMD via the Windows Boot Manager that thing is a pain ngl... ![](https://i.imgur.com/YARJC5u.png) ![](https://i.imgur.com/2BhkaUE.png) ![](https://i.imgur.com/4z7RMNc.png) I replaced Windows 10's current Default Wallpaper with it's older Hero version. ![](https://i.imgur.com/j7ho6Co.jpeg) ![](https://i.imgur.com/01JEbQO.png) Windows 10's Aerolite still looks like shit compared to Windows 8.x's... Now this is where I use a mod like Revert8plus, don't worry I'm not doing this thing on baremetal that would be really crazy of me to do instead of I use a Virtual Machine for safety reasons and also so that if I mess anything up it's only the VM and only that! ![](https://i.imgur.com/xdIX4h0.png) ![](https://i.imgur.com/hzLO5Zq.png) ![](https://i.imgur.com/OKWtvJT.png) ![](https://i.imgur.com/TFGStpO.png) I'm also using Firefox Eheclon Mod

I am just thinking that VBox'es GPU driver is at fault here, cause it causes a shitload of graphical issues. I've used DWMBG on VBox in the past, though it was on a Linux host, it seems the GPU driver is slightly better there (no graphical artefacts with 7's Aero, for example).
