  1. Interesting.  I'm not seeing 10061 on Windows Update in build 10049.

     

    And what's that registry fix doing?  Switching branches to an inner ring?  Mine shows fbl_impressive, not fbl_awesome1501.

     

    Interesting to see the different branch names on this site:

    Are you on a Local account? From what I have read you wont get the update offer unless your logged in with a MS account.

  2. Just to be clear, this is NOT a theme atlas file for use with a stock Windows 10 theme. 

     

    It's only for use with the Aero 7 V2 theme by DaMonkeyOnCrack from the DeviantArt site.  The Windows build doesn't matter - if you have that particular theme working, then you can replace the theme atlas resources with those from this file using Big Muscle's tool.

     

    I've solved the problem with the "chrome" graphic showing up behind the back/forward buttons and address bar in IE.  There's a variant of the theme provided that doesn't have it.

     

    This is the best I've had any system looking since Windows 7...

    Noel, on your current build 10049 that you are using with ClassicShell and your Custom Theme are you finding any issues when attempting to open up the Windows Apps?

  3. I love the Windows 7 look of windows frames and its rounded corners and the buttons. However, I really have no desire to change the stock taskbar, which is currently translucent black out of the box on my 10056 and I LOVE that as it is. Also the default Start Menu is translucent and also black, and well I just love the looks of that. So, all I desire is crystal clear/white/frosted Windows 7 Aero look on my non-full screened windows. If in full screen, I do not care if they are translucent. For Chrome I have a dark black theme and I like it. For explorer, apps and program windows I want frosted clear aero if possible, like what Noel and John showed in screenshots earlier.

     

    Are you guys using the new 4.2.1 of Classic Shell? Or still on the beta 4.2.0?

    I was using the latest classic shell but it disables my Apps and renders then useless on build 10056 plus has no options for keeping the Windows 10 start screen like Start10.

  4. And for those that want to keep the 'Windows 10 style' start menu with Windows 7 rounded corners (which ClassicShell does not offer) there is always the latest beta build of Start10 for Windows10 to try out as well..

    P.S. and yes it does $$cost about the price of a cheap whopper jr. big deal.

  5. Well I understand that not everyone loves Classic but the Theme is based on 'Windows 7' so in staying with that and being a

    purists then it would just make sense that the start menu would also be Windows 7 as well along with the frames corners and buttons 

    and even the desktop icons. But then again some like a mix of hodgepodge visual styles rather that staying as close to the orginal look.

    Good to see Aero still working without symbols on Windows 10 Build 10056

    That looks great!  What are you using to get the rounded effect.

     

    To get that effect I use BigMuscles Uxthemesignaturebypass and for Windows 7 theme I use http://damonkeyoncrack.deviantart.com/art/Aero7-V2-for-Windows-8-8-1-10-TP-build-9879-429412929 and OldNewExplorer http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/170375-oldnewexplorer-make-your-81-explorer-work-like-win78-one/

     

    and you Also use Classic shell to show your start button as well

  7. It does not really do anything at all.  No rounded corners, nothing.  Just a bit of color here and there.  I was looking for something like Dave076's desktop.  I hope he clues us in on what he did.

    if you pm me I can send you a rounded theme I have been working on that may work for you.

    Looks like one of the custom Windows 7 rounded themes for Windows 10.

    ~DP :w00t:

     

    Yea it does.  I just don't want a theme where I need to install stuff to install it!  LOL  Unless it works really well.

     

    Well other than 'Uxthemesignaturebypass' you really don't need to install anything, just make sure that your atlas png is disabled and not running.

    WZOR posted some pictures of Build 10056:

    Still nothing "impressive" shown, only depressing.

     

    Have you noticed how they're calling these various "new build" tracks by names such as "awesome" and "impressive"?

     

    Gotta wonder if they really believe they're coming up with awesome and impressive achievements, or if it's a case of trying to convince themselves by the power of labeling.

    The use of 'Awesome and Impressive' is just more of  Microsoft's subliminal message crap to us, thinking that eventually we will all come around and think how 'Wonderful and Excellent' this latest Windows 10 O.S. build has become and how did we ever survive without it til now.

    • New setting to change the user picture

    Instead of doing all this typing in to your registry manually which may allow for errors just take the below script and save to notepad with a .bat extension as AG-RegSetup.bat then just run it reboot and see what happens.

    Edit: Updated batch script

    I noticed that the bat file above says "For Windows 10" does it also work on 8.1?

     

    It's Windows 10 because of 'ModernFrame.dll' just remove that section from the reg adds and it will work for 8.1 as well and with a 64-bit OS.

    ~DP

    P.S. And yes the 'UxthemeSignatureBypass' method is a stroke of Genuis by BigMuscle, no need to use theme patchers any more like UltraUX or UxStyle.
  12. If what you want are the hotfixes with KB's you can also use system info or wmic as well in script for a dated log file and just run as admin.
