Does anyone have Win7-ish atlas for version 1803, and with reduced borders ideally? Everything I've seen in the forum thus far either doesn't work or looks bad.

Noone? Really?
Noone does custom images in W10 anymore?0 -
Ah ok, I didn't have the update yet. I installed it, and the symbols failed to download. What should I do?

Nothing downloaded for me. Is it supposed to start automatically, with command prompt window and stuff?

Is it normal that the program takes up to ten seconds to start? If yes, what is it doing that it takes so long?

What do you mean by color of an active window? Do you mean the thin border around?
And about all the sliders though? Color balance? What does that do?0 -
I'm trying to integrate the last cumulative update to my image, and it just wouldn't work, always giving me this error:

Could anyone explain what "glass color" is to me? I am digging in the GUI again and I don't understand half the stuff.

I had it sorted meanwhile. Turned out I only had to play with the sliders in the GUI.

And how is it possible that my browser still has the same default Win10 look as well?

I have no idea if this was brought up before, but is it normal or a bug that Settings window doesn't have rounded top corners - actually completely unaffected top bar?

In any case, those CleoDesktop themes apply just fine. I have several of them, in fact, among which a Win7 Aero theme which, I take it, is also what you downloaded.
I don't really like the OldNewExplorer requirement. It's not a hard one, but without it it looks weird. I would have very much preferred if he simply left Explorer untouched.

I told you where to find them https://www.deviantart.com/devillnside, but you preferred to pay, now do not complain.
Except there is no theme for Windows 10 there that would resemble Windows 7.

I am pretty sure my Windows 7 did not have hardcoded blue borders around the windows.
0 -
Actually, it appears all of them have it. No idea why. It's disturbing to the eyes.

So does anyone have an atlas that would be as close to Win7 as possible? The one posted before has these nasty coloured borders around windows :(
0 -
Jesus, I give up. The guy is an id***. I wasted half an hour of my life trying to explain not everyone wants to install five other programs just to install a stupid theme, and he just goes
"When OldNewExplorer not work on future, it will has update"
Wasted money.
0 -
That is weird, because I can't see any command bar in my Windows 10 at all.
Communicating with the guy is major pain in the a**, because his engrish looks more like klingon, and I have no idea what is he saying :( I've been trying to find out whether that OldNewExplorer is a hard requirement for the theme, and his replies are always different.

Does this work for Windows 10? Will it ever get updated? All I googled up was version from 2016.
0 -
I never upgrade anything. I do clean install, so I think I'm fine.
0 -
Ok.
How do the patchers work anyway? Are they all based on the same concept?
Edit: Uh, the theme I bought, what are these folders "Hide CommanBar" and "Show CommanBar"? And I presume the OldNewExplorer is not mandatory for the theme.
0 -
So do all these themes actually require Aero Glass or not?
I am looking at the Leodesktop site, and the instructions for the themepatches seem horribly complicated. Do I really need to install an additional program, this OldNewExplorer somethning?

Yes, Windows 10 supports themes of a sort, without having to patch dll files, or inject other dlls, into your system. Such themes are limited to colours, backgrounds, sounds and mouse cursors, however.
Yet the Windows 10 engine is capable of altering much more than just the things just mentioned - buttons, titlebars, scrollbars and the like can all, in principle, be changed. Microsoft doesn't really want you to do this, preferring for its users to work with a mostly uniform interface. This is not surprising, really. The look of its interface helps Microsoft set Windows 10 aside from, for instance, Windows XP, Vista, 7, or 8. This is important from a marketing viewpoint as these OSes are otherwise very similar. Strip away Windows 'app' support, a few security features, and a lot of telemetry, and Windows 10 is not so very different from 7.
By using Bigmuscle's dll file, or applying patches to Windows' own dll files, users can 'relax' Microsofts' restrictions, and essentially do what Microsoft does every time it launches a new version of its OS. My own Windows 10 desktop currently looks almost identical to Windows 7, as you can see from the images below (note that I've also changed the icons, and installed a start menu replacer). Others prefer more radical changes - DeviantArt is a good place to start if you are interested in Windows 'skinning'.
Do please note that patching Windows dll files can, potentially, be risky, so always make sure that you have proper backups and the means to recover your system should anything go wrong.
Ok, I understand now. But it seems like the themes have to be made for the latest version of Windows, don't they? I'd like a Windows 7 like theme, but I am reluctant to try something from 2016 (the only one I found).

But I can create a theme and use it without problems - I mean otherwise there wouldn't be the "use custom theme" option etc., where I can apply what I previously customized.
How do you define third party theme anyway? And is this new to Windows 10? I tried googling around and found pretty much nothing.

Prerequisites to integrating updates?
in Unattended Windows 10 Installation
Posted
In case anyone ever runs into the same problem:
I managed to figure it out - purely accidentally.
It turned out there IS a prerequisite to integrating this - it's called "servicing stack" and these KBs are released more or less along with the cumulative updates (sometimes like once per two CUs).
Of course, this is not explained anywhere (the connection and dependency).
The other catch is that when you try to integrate all this, you have to do it twice. WTF.
So you have to mount the image, do whatever customizations you have prepared, then integrate the servicing stack, THEN unmount and save the image, AND THEN mount it again and finally integrate the large update.
This is almost as annoying as booting into safe mode in Windows 10 compared to Windows 7.
