Thank you Windows Vista ^ Above link for Windows Vista theme. Download file and you'll find a 'read me' file within. Follow the instructions in it step by step. ^ Check 'read me' file for configurations of this OldNewExplorer. http://www.classicshell.net/ ^ I use Classic Shell instead of StartIsBack coz it's better. I forgot you need UXThemePatcher too!! Edited February 20, 2017 by Tengerecki
Tengerecki Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 (edited) Some more questions 1. How do I change the logon full-screen picture? I'm talking about this: 2. How do I change the windows loading screen logo? Edited February 20, 2017 by Tengerecki
NoelC Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 How do I change the logon full-screen picture? I'm not sure, but you might want to look into Winaero Tweaker. I seem to remember an ability to change some of the things that show (e.g. lock screen image) on Win 10. Might be possible on Win 8.1 as well. -Noel

I done seen a lot of your work here (with Aero Glass atlas) and they dope, no lie. UPDATE: That Winaero does not have such option. However, it has various useful items. I like it, still.

NoelC Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 Thanks for the compliment and update. Sorry it didn't do specifically what you wanted. Like you said, it has lots of good options. So many that I've certainly lost track of what all it can tweak. -Noel

But how do I change the loading circle animation? And by picture I meant this ugly purple-ish default fullscreen solid color picture. I can't seem to change it anywhere.

My antivirus software told me that and it causes Windows Breakdown. Ultra Uxtheme Patcher is not a virus. It is a program which replaces the orginal themeui.dll, UXInit.dll, and uxtheme.dll files in System32 with patched ones. It creates backups of your originals, and renames theme with a .bak extension. It is also reversable (uninstallable.) If you install Windows 10 in a VM, and run the patcher you can copy these files to a folder. Then, you do not need the patcher to replace them. Simply take ownership of the original files, rename, and replace them yourself. Of course, if you have no idea what you are doing, and do not follow other patching steps, or use the wrong themes for your build, you can definitely log on to an unusable desktop.

Indeed, anti-virus programs love to flag useful non-malicious stuff for various reasons. Check out this blog post: http://blog.nirsoft.net/2009/05/17/antivirus-companies-cause-a-big-headache-to-small-developers/ File system modifications can certainly be malicious, not in this case though, and the warning on the website about total Windows breakage is just so you don't blame the author if something goes wrong. It's true however that using custom themes always carries a small risk of breaking something. What happens if Windows Update replaces those files with originals and you don't switch back to stock theme until files are re-patched? You won't make it to your desktop because Windows rather commits suicide instead of falling back to stock theme. Big Muscle's theme signature bypass DLLs lasted for quite some time, they just broke now with Creators Update. It's a wild goose chase with custom themes in general, need to keep up with how they change under the hood. From Anniversary Update to Creators Update in its current state, it seems they haven't changed drastically under the hood.

Rayhaan Sheikh Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) Hi, Noel How do you make a theme atlas? Can I have a sample .png and .png.layout file? I would like to contribute to this more! Take Care! Edited March 8, 2017 by Rayhaan Sheikh Missing info
NoelC Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 The .png and .png.layout files are in the zip files named above. Feel free to alter them. You have to figure out where and when the various parts composite. I do that by overlaying them in Photoshop with bright colored pixels, saving the .png, reloading the atlas via the Aero Glass GUI tool, then seeing what parts of the desktop are affected. -Noel
