USING STARDOCK CURTAINS (Windows 10 only)įor Windows 10, Stardock has created an app called Curtains that has the ability to style the titlebar and caption buttons of UWP/modern apps.įor this reason I've created matching Curtains styles for each and every one of my Windows 10 themes, which you can find in the Matching Extras section of the included README file.
However, custom Windows themes don't apply to UWP/modern apps (like the Settings panel, Calculator, Windows Mail, Calendar, etc.) and apps that have a skinning system of their own like for example Winamp (a media player that uses its own skins) or the Microsoft Office apps (that have their own custom user interface). The first thing you have to understand is that Custom Windows themes only apply to Win32/classic apps that inherit the classic Windows UI. If you're in a hurry, jump ahead to the HOW-TO GUIDE below.
Apply a theme via "Control Panel -> Personalization" from the desktop rc menu "Personalize (classic) -> Theme Settings".Hey guys, in case you're new to Custom Windows Themes, here is some information that you might find useful and a guide explaining how to install and use a custom theme. Cut/paste the contents of "themes" into your themes folder ("C:\Windows\Resources\Themes").Merge a system metrics registry file in "files\system_metrics" so borders and fonts can be adjusted. Merge the registry tweaks in "files\rc_context_menu" so that it's possible to switch themes from the desktop right click menu. Type ctrl+a then right click, click "install" with "no" and "do this for all current items" checked. Install the fonts included in the "files\fonts" folder. Winaero Tweaker is the application for tweaking the rest of your system.Īero Glass can be used for additional window transparency. The "files\orbs_downsized" directory contains start orbs modified to work with the small taskbar buttons setting. Select the theme's start menu and an orb in the StartIsBack++ configuration and click apply. Install StartIsBack++ to skin the start menu and taskbar.These themes rely on the correct settings of OldNewExplorer.I recommend using Theme Signature Bypass in "files\patcher" as a theme patcher.Before applying any custom theme, create a restore point.
