Not only Windows 10 is hard to customize, but it’s so broken and unstable that any trivial changes made could result in the entire OS being broken and the only solution to be a fresh reinstall.While the sub name is Windows 98, anything 9x related is alright, there's no issue in posting content related to 95, 98, 2000 or MEīe civil in the comments, if you're being outright obnoxious the comment has a good chance of being deleted and you getting a warning or temp/permanent ban depending on history There were even a few icon patchers that allowed you to change the entire incon set of XP, Vista or 7 into something like Ubuntu or Gnome, it worked perfectly with XP, but the new File Explorer in Vista and 7 had some icons that the patchers could not change and attempting that in Windows 10 would be a lost cause.

I really miss the days of XP, Vista, 7, when it was so easy to customize the UI – just patch the UxTheme.dll file and slap your own 3rd party themes and you were set for life – it was easy, fast and it worked so well. It reminds me of the dick move that Microsoft pulled back in the days of Windows 8 when some users found out they can copy the original Start Menu files from Windows 7 into Windows 8 and with some tool to make the Start Menu work again and then Microsoft immediately released some patch to make that not work, it obviously bothered them that people found ways to make the botched Windows 8 work and behave the way they want… What an asshole company.

Use one of those UxTheme.dll patcher tools that allows you to install 3rd party themes and hope you find one that works with the latest build of Windows 10, because that’s also an issue now, whereas with previous versions of Windows such as 7, Vista, XP, it wasn’t. Use WindowBlinds with a Windows 7 themeĢ. Even StartIsBack++ has a Windows 7 theme for the Start Menu and taskbar, but the only ways I know to change the title bars are:ġ. That’s cool and I would like to use it, but it really bothers me that there aren’t tools that change the title bars of Windows 10. I think Windows XP Blue's taskbar, start menu and tray still looks the best. On the other hand, notifications work fine. And, if you're using custom toolbars like the Everything Toolbar, you can't access any of those. The fly out menu (right-click menu) for taskbar icons, and task preview are not available either. You can't access the Action Center or use the Show Desktop button. RetroBar hides nearly all options of the Taskbar's context menu, which makes it a bit inconvenient to use. Look at the first screenshot above and the one below from Windows 10, and you'll see what I'm talking about. RetroBar does not support this, and as a result your taskbar could get cluttered really quickly. Windows 10 avoids creating labels on the task bar for programs that are running, it uses icons. However, the default icon size on the taskbar is way too small, the program needs to offer a way to resize them. Windows 10's tray icons (Wi-Fi, speaker, battery, etc.) appear too thin and faint, but we can't really blame the tool for that.
