The only programs that seem to have the Classic theme are programs like Notepad, ClassicTheme.exe, Proccess Explorer, and art programs like GIMP and paintdotnet.
File Explorer, Control Panel, and programs like that do not have Classic theme but do have the smaller fonts and title bars.
Any suggestions?

I also noticed that programs like Internet Explorer and Cleartype Text Tuner have weird transparency on the title bars.

File Explorer cannot be Metro anyway: it is not a Metro app. If it has non-Classic theme, this means you disable themes after File Explorer started.
Possibly the script you are using starts ClassicThemeA.exe after the Explorer, so to keep the taskbar sensible (under Classic Theme the taskbar in Win10 has its text labels disappearing).

If you are using a HiDPI configuration then using the legacy control panel applet included in ClassicTheme.exe or using the standalone applet alone will cause title bars and some other elements to become scaled at a non-HiDPI suitable size. The File Explorer will stay with the regular non-classic borders if you do not have it configured to open in a separate processes for new Explorer windows in the File Explorer options, assuming you did not restart the Explorer process. The classic arrow buttons and other items in the address bar like the reload icon do not scale well with a HiDPI configuration so it's best to keep it non-classic. You can fix the title bars and fonts by scaling your UI to a different percentage and back in the display settings to basically reset the title bar sizes if you are using a scaling percentage that isn't on 100%.
Also, if you are using the DISABLETHEMES compatibility flag which only appears to work for x86 applications then the non-classic border will still be displayed for those applications regardless whether you ran the Classic Theme script or .exe unless you are using the Windows XP or older compatibility flags along with it as well.

I honestly prefer the smaller bar. I don't think HiDPI would effect me as I have a 1600x900 monitor and not a 4k one. Also, what do you mean by "configured to open in a separate processes for new Explorer windows in the File Explorer options."? |

Also, what do you mean by "configured to open in a separate processes for new Explorer windows in the File Explorer options."? The setting for that is in the 'File Explorer Options' window which can be found via Search or Control Panel (Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\File Explorer Options). In the View tab there will be a 'Launch folder windows in a separate process' checkbox, if you have this option checked then you will be able to have newly launched Explorer windows open with the Classic Theme without having to fully restart it which would break the taskbar. |

Thanks, That really helped a lot. Heres a pic:  |
