Windows 10 Black Edition For Win 10 10240 Only

70515

RGB Color Colection

70616

Enjoy!! :happy:


Update September 19th 2015:

Fixed a bug with the context menu that could make it supper stretched out, added a bit of polish to the start menu plus an additional 2 styles to choose from, Windows Black Edition Glass and Windows Black Edition v3.

The Glass version is meant to be used with Black Glass Enhanced to avoid the color shift with the default style, v3 is pretty much the same as v2 with a slight change to the start menu, All Programs is now transparent instead of black (New Feature! only with latest version of SiB).

Update September 4th 2015:

Big update!!, more bug fixes and improvements plus an additional 7 Dark mix styles to choose from.

The new Mix Styles mix light and dark to give you a great balance for work and play, now you won't have to worry about office, browsers and programs using the wrong colors.

You will need to use OldNewExplorer (highly recommended), SiB and Aero Glass are supported but the theme looks great without them.

Tools you may need:

Updated: ONE version 1.1.7(OldNewExplorer) (http://tihiy.net/files/OldNewExplorer.rar)


- Fixed crashes

Previous version sucked, this one should be better

For best results use these settings.

Love it great stuff Mark thanks

[DJ DRIVE]

Looks very cool! Thanks!

[designfjotten]

Wow, that is one sweet looking theme bro, digging the dark look of it :)

[mm8844]

Hey Mr grim,
How's it going?
Thank you for designing this 10 theme. Can't wait to get it installed. Just having a problem with the installation.
As I can't seem to find installation instructions, I'm a bit lost. In fact, I haven't a clue as to what OldNewExplorer actually means.
Anyone willing to give me some assistance with the installation of this theme will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advanced.

[2635599]

GRiM (http://virtualcustoms.net/member.php/1-Mr-GRiM) this really looks great just a couple of questions. first any chance of getting a copy with the computer/explorer pane in the same gray as the rest of the theme instead of being black? second can you link to the theme patcher that actually works with 10. third is there a decent icon pack made for 10 yet(prefer 7tsp over ipack)? and lastly can you link to the oldnewexplorer that works with 10?

[Mr GRiM]

Yep will do mate, just heading back to work, will put some links and instructions when I get back.

Many thanks Mr GRiM (http://virtualcustoms.net/member.php/1-Mr-GRiM)

[tewie]

Thanks. Big improvement on the Very bright standard windows 10 interface.

[heretikos]

First of all, thanks so much Grim... And to everyone else... When using UltraUXThemePatcher_3.0.0, if I rightclick, personalize, themes, Theme settings.... It just crashes. I can manually go to the windows/resources folder and select the theme, but I'm too picky about these types of things. Anyone successfully using another theme patcher and if so, maybe you could link me to the newest one? I used another one for 8.1 and I guess I deleted it because I can't find it.

This one (http://uxstyle.com/)seems to be working for me.

[heretikos]

This one (http://uxstyle.com/)seems to be working for me.

Thanks for replying. I've installed that one. Seemed smooth... but eventually, when I go to theme setrings, it just closes the window I'm in as before. Blah. It could be a number of things, hard to trouble shoot on here

[Nimbi]

Will I still need UxStyle for this? Because I messed my old comp up bad trying to use UltraUxThemePatcher. (Not enough knowledge on manually patching my system to get it done properly, lol)


---EDIT---

Nevermind. I figured it out, lol.

[Nimbi]

Awesome theme! just finished downloading and applying it! Would love to see a complete dark syste icon pack to go with this. Especially if the icons could be based off of the windows 10 icon style. Even so, this theme is badass! I'll probs add AeroGlass and BGE as soon as an official Windows 10 version of AeroGlass is released since the current testing version doesn't work on my laptop.

[heretikos]

Grim said he highly recommends OldNewExplorer and that's all I ever have used. And after many, many problems, I found out culprit was in fact the OldNewExplorer. Ribbon disabler works, because it doesn't install that shell file. That shell file in OldNewExplorer has caused problems for me, I wonder why no one else. I've been having the same issue on a laptop and a desktop.

I don't really want to recommend a patcher as I haven't really tested any of them, I am currently only using Theme Signature Bypass from Big Muscle and while it works great it has always caused me some problems when trying to remove it, that said, best thing to do is not remove it.

Yeah, I've never been able to figure out how to manually patch my system, lol. Luckily, UxStyle seems to work fine. As for them signature bypass, I was under the belief that it required BigMuscle's AeroGlass to work since one of the files it uses is gained from installing AeroGlass. So I didn't use that. The only issue I have is that every so often OldNewExplorer glitches causing the ribbon (or whatever the menu bar things are called) to appear white again. Luckily closing the window and reopening it always fixes that.

[Mr GRiM]

It can be installed on it own without aero glass but I also prefer UxStyle but had problems with it on some of the insider builds, as for ONE, yeah I have noticed that as well but only when opening a save or open window.

[Nimbi]

That just screwed my computer up. Couldn't use Windows recovery. Had to use hp recovery. Gunna have to re upgrade all over again once it finishes restoring.

[Mr GRiM]

That just screwed my computer up. Couldn't use Windows recovery. Had to use hp recovery. Gunna have to re upgrade all over again once it finishes restoring.

That's why I wasn't recommending it, I am only using it on a VM and I always make lots of Snapshots so I can restore quickly, I thought you were happy with Uxstyle, what made you try using Theme signature bypass?

[Nimbi]

Figured I'd test it, lol.

[Mr GRiM]

Figured I'd test it, lol.

No harm in that, just make sure testing is done on a Virtual Machine lol

[2635599]

Darkwater409 (http://virtualcustoms.net/member.php/280551-Darkwater409) no offense meant but the default win 10 icons are hideous. i believe they will remain hideous no matter what color they are done in.

[jayarte]

Has anyone installed this using UxStyle Preview: For Windows 10 Technical Preview (0.2.4.2 (https://github.com/riverar/uxstyle/releases/tag/0.2.4.2)) (http://uxstyle.com/)?

[2me2sos]

hi guys. how did you guys really installed this theme? as far as i know there is no theme patcher available for win 10 right? i upgraded to win10 home... and explorer is still light colored :(

[archmage94]

Oh wow, someone already released the very first Windows 10 custom theme? That was fast, will 7stp work on Windows 10? I'd like to reinstall the HUD Evolution icon pack

[Robbo]

Yep I installed the theme using Uxstyle and no problems (I think) so far, would post a screenshot but yet to find out how on win 10, just getting used to it.

[freak69ize]

Same as in 7 and 8... hit the print screen key at the top of your keyboard and paste in paint

Thanks I managed to work it out just had a spot of bother finding paint, all sorted now. (http://virtualcustoms.net/member.php/201075-freak69ize)

[Nimbi]

UxStyle 0.2.4.2 for Windows 10 technical preview works with this theme. I'm using it myself.

[Nimbi]

No offense taken lol.

[jayarte]

Great, thanks. I'll give it a try now.

[mike 59]

thank you for sharing this awesome 10 theme mr grim:Peace::happy:

[jayarte]

Update: working fine, looks great. Thanks for the help xxx

Hmmm, spoke too soon. After restart went back to windows 10 default :(

[Erin]

Awful:sigh: I agree

[Erin]

I upgraded my son's PC (Windows Home Premium) and I've installed StartisBack and OldNewExplorer ... but I dare not patch till there is a safe patch

(I don't want any problem with my teenager son ... :worried:, so ... I'll wait ...)

[Nimbi]

Update: working fine, looks great. Thanks for the help xxx

That's odd. It's working perfectly for me. :sad:

[2me2sos]

guys i cannot use the theme coz i have the old uxstyle.. anybody can share how to uninstall it? cannot uninstall.. i am having an error.. the uh oh error

[jayarte]

I'm probably going to go back to Win 7 for now and wait until more Win 10 themes are available (I like to change fairly often) and the patches are tried and tested.

[jayarte]

That's odd. It's working perfectly for me. :sad:

You're welcome. Good luck with patching and theme. I'm back to Win 7 64 bit for now, so I have more choice with themes.

[Nimbi]

That's what I'm using as well. However I got mine from UxStyle (http:\\www.UxStyle.com)

[archmage94]

What's SiB, also can I get a download of the HUD Evolution sound pack? I just want the sounds, I don't want the theme itself

[Nimbi]

What's SiB, also can I get a download of the HUD Evolution sound pack? I just want the sounds, I don't want the theme itself

SiB = StartIsBack. I believe there are 3 versions now. StartIsBack (windows 8), StartIsBack+ (Windows 8.1), and StartIsBack++ (Windows 10). Personally I haven't tried the Windows 10 version.

[sdfsdfsdf]

because the first stable theme for Windows 8.1 have not seen one until now that fence well throughout at least the final version ..!

Yep will do mate, just heading back to work, will put some links and instructions when I get back.

I'm BUMPING this

[Darkdragontcc]

I love this color and mix, it looks so great. Just one thing , it's nothing major or anything. when your title bar is inactive, it shows gray box blocking the text out. Again it isn't major just fyi. Unless there is a way to fix that, let me know.

+1 for making this!!

[Mr GRiM]

I'm BUMPING this

Sorry mate, I do want to add some instructions but I also don't want to be responsible if it all goes wrong, I can link to some parts like ONE (OldNewExplorer) and SiB (StartIsBack) but I am not sure what the best Theme Patcher is, from what I have read using BM's Theme Signature Bypass requires you to disable secure boot, Uxstyle seems to be unstable for some and retyrns back to default theme, Ultra Uxtheme Patcher may work but then you always run the risk of it being broken by a Windows update, so very hard to say what you should use.

As for Icon packs, some have reported that Windows 8.1 7tsp packs are working fine, I have not tested any myself, I have tested with one of my custom packs but I had a few problems that I will need to look at.

I will update the first post with links to Sib and ONE at least for you.

[Dark Knight]

I will update the first post with links to Sib and ONE at least for you.

Actually, I'd really like to get the links too, I mean I could go wading around the muck at MSFN (their forums are so disorganized) but I really don't have the time for that right now.

BTW - I too am using Big Muscles UxThemeSignatureBypass on Windows 10 Pro for the past few days and have seen no adverse affects at all, I would highly recommend it, I'd be too scared to use any UxTheme Patcher at this point and time.

Is there any time frame on a stable release of Aero Glass yet?

Links all in first post, no ETA on a release date for AeroGlass but the debug version seems fairly stable for me, multi monitor setups seems to be having some issues though.

[2635599]

i'd recommenced Big Muscles UxThemeSignatureBypass seems to work for peeps. as for secure boot i recommend turning it off anyway. other than Big Muscles UxThemeSignatureBypass and maybe a copy of your theme with a gray explorer window instead of black i have everything i need. i'll try Big Muscles UxThemeSignatureBypass first and if that doesn't work i'll try the other one i referenced UxStyle 0.2.4.2 Win 10 Preview.exe. i'm actually thinking of not using sib cause i do like the new startmenu.

[2635599]

Dark Knight (http://virtualcustoms.net/member.php/199178-Dark-Knight) is right it a joke trying to find Big Muscles UxThemeSignatureBypass.

If your going to use UxTheme Signature Bypass then I recommend using Uxstyle with it as well, I am testing on the VM and they seem to work well together and it leaves you with a backup if one of them happens to fail.

I agree with you about SiB, I also like the new start menu although Sib can be configured and used for free and still bring some extra features like taskbar color and transparency as well as options to enable/disable blur, also gives options for large taskbar icons like on Previous windows and also lets you have a custom start button, just set in the option to open start screen when you press the windows key and you can have the SiB start menu on Alt+Win key or just have them both to open the start screen/modern start menu.

[archmage94]

Ok, I will test out 7stp with your Windows 8.1 HUD icon pack and see if it works for me on Windows 10

[Mr GRiM]

I have added 2 installers to first post, One for UxTheme Signature Bypass and one for the Aero Glass debug build, use at your own risk.

[Dark Knight]

I installed ONE on Windows 10 Pro, installed fine but I could not create any new folders, every time I tried to create a new folder and rename it I got an "file could not be found" error, as soon as I uninstalled ONE everything was back to normal ....... still a little buggy I guess.

You should report this bug to the developer, is this when you create a folder in file explorer only or does it happen on the desktop as well?

Edit: just found out the cause of this problem, his latest version was meant to fix the option to Hide the folders in This PC and use libraries but it has caused this new bug as well, disable that option and it should be OK.

Ok, yes that worked, thanks Mark!

I think I'm going to hold off on AeroGlass though, I tried installing and the installer froze and would not complete, I had to force uninstall it.

[archmage94]

Well I tried running 7stp and right now it's stuck on patching Windr-regedit.exe, should I let it go, restart my PC or restore it? (I did manually create a restore point before I patched it)

[Mr GRiM]

Yeah just updated the installer for Glass, it has a problem when it tries to create the desktop shortcut, this has also been reported as been linked to ONE, I have just updated the installer so it doesn't create any shortcuts for the GUI, there will be a right click context menu shortcut for it.

[Mr GRiM]

archmage94 any chance of you testing token 7tsp gray8.1 token icon pack.7z? now when i just did i fresh install of 8.1 and installed them i had to use ctrl/alt/esc to bring up taskmanager and start explorer manually to get to the desktop after the first reboot after installing the pack, cause i got that famous black screen with the mouse. on 8.1 everything has worked perfectly since that.

70551

[2635599]

GRiM (http://virtualcustoms.net/member.php/1-Mr-GRiM) lol i see you have been very busy. got the last few items from your updated post that i didn't have. thanks

When I tried running 7stp it got stuck on patching windr-regedit.exe and let's just say there was a system restore involved so I think I will wait till it will actually work on Windows 10 (That is if the creators are actually still working on 7stp)

actually 7stp doesn't need an update. all it does is shutdown processes, take ownership of files, then updates or replaces those files. it is the theme pack itself that needs to be created or updated for win 10.

[archmage94]

I had to perform a system restore to fix it cause 7stp got stuck. Off-topic: My PC was custom built by me, would I need to re-install drivers (Like for my graphics card) from the disk or are those left alone when installing Windows 10? Also I had to do a clean installation

[Mr GRiM]

more like this. everything matches.

70550


OK well that's more then I wanted to change the look of this theme, I was going for a very similar look to the unlocked Dark style of the modern UI but it's OK I think you will be happy with it now, if not then tough :P

70552

[Mr GRiM]

Okay, but now how do you go about hiding the cmd window that cannot be closed? the option has been removed from the installer.
Sorry mate I removed that as it was causing other popup windows in my installers and uninstallers to close as well.

You can have it if you want though, just put it in your startup folder.

[2635599]

GRiM (http://virtualcustoms.net/member.php/1-Mr-GRiM) that looks perfect. thanks for the extra time you took on this it is truly appreciated. all one shade, again perfect.

[2635599]

o.k. folks i think i'm ready to give everything ago. all i need now is suggested install order, and if you guys see anything i missed downloading. i probably won't use aeroglass cause i like the flat look and feel with the exception of the default win 10 theme. now i'll make a suggestion for others get yourself a copy of rollback rx home it's free. install windows then drivers then rollback rx. easy to use is an extreme understatement.

Thanks Grim, got it all working nicely now!

I guess Big Muscle is looking for new donations for this version of Aero Glass? Just asking because I have a watermark again on my desktop even though I put the donation / license key in my Aero Glass folder.

[2635599]

Dark Knight (http://virtualcustoms.net/member.php/199178-Dark-Knight) any chance of you posting the order you installed everything to get this up and running?

[Dark Knight]

Dark Knight (http://virtualcustoms.net/member.php/199178-Dark-Knight) any chance of you posting the order you installed everything to get this up and running?

There really is no specific order that I can post, I'm learning just like everyone else right now but I will tell you the order that I did it in .........

1.) Installed aeroglass ( make sure you download the latest one that Grim updated last evening otherwise the installer will freeze on you )
2.) Put close glass.exe in startup folder and ran to close cmd prompt ( otherwise it will not close )
3.) Merged classic appearance settings for desktop.reg
4.) Installed ThemeSignatureBypass ( did this here because Aero Glass folder needs to be present for install )
5.) Installed Old New Explorer ( make sure that Use Libraries, Hide Folders from This PC is unchecked ) if you don't uncheck it a bug in the software will prevent you from renaming newly created folders, you will get a "folder cannot be found" error.

I did not install UxTheme patcher / styler , I don't trust any of them and I really don't want to have to do a clean install right now to fix whatever it may mess up.
I also did not install StartIsBack only because I don't mind the Windows 10 start menu all that much.

Beware : If you have a donation key or license key for AeroGlass, you are going to have a watermark on your desktop even though you put your license / donation key in the folder.

Also if you have Grims dark theme installed and use it, your going to find yourself flipping back and forth between the default Windows 10 theme and this dark theme because there are applications you are not going to be able to read because the black font on dark background thing going on, haven't noticed it in Windows yet, just on installed applications.

BTW, also something else I found not regarding this post but I am also using a logon image changer I found on Lifehacker that works very well, read about it here:

http://lifehacker.com/this-utility-can-change-your-windows-10-login-image-1721713560 (http://lifehacker.com/this-utility-can-change-your-windows-10-login-image-1721713560)


Just so you don't have to stick with the same logon image all the time.

Thanks Grim, got it all working nicely now!

I guess Big Muscle is looking for new donations for this version of Aero Glass? Just asking because I have a watermark again on my desktop even though I put the donation / license key in my Aero Glass folder.

You can generate a new donation key from his website but it only removes the nag screen. The watermark is not removable and is there for code purposes for now.

I haven't experienced any nag screen, not yet anyway, maybe my original donation key is working then seeing as it is generated from my machine code?
I can wait for the stable (final) version to get rid of the watermark.

Your post is kind of confusing ..... did you perform a clean install or not after your problem?

In your previous post you mentioned you installed uxstyle which was not supported by Windows 10 and could not uninstall it, if that is still the case I would say that yes you will more than likely need to perform a clean install, after doing that only use modification tools that are supported by Windows 10, which means following the directions in this thread.

If you want my honest opinion, stay away from any uxtheme patchers and use the UxThemeSignatureBypass mentioned in this thread.

[Dark Knight]

Getting that white area again in the Save As dialog , not sure which program is causing it,

Here is a screencap, couldn't upload it here because I am also having trouble with folders loading on the left side of the dialog box, and VC would not let me link to the screencap directly from photobucket ( don't know what that is about?).

Obviously there are still a lot of bugs to be worked out in both AeroGlass and OldNewExplorer.

Actually, I think the problem is OldNewExplorer, because when I switch back to the Windows default theme I can access my folders in the left hand pane.

many thanks for the reply

it got confusing because the latest post was after the clean install because i really could not have the dark theme

anyway let me explain again :D

1. i clean install windows 10
2. installed all needed files for the dark theme (except the theme bypass app)
3. applied dark theme --> it worked!
4. stupidly and lazily, i applied my old theme just to have the sounds and mouse themes
thene since it is unsupported on windows 10..it went back to normal windows 10 theme but with the sound and mouse installed
5. then i applied the dark theme..and yes after this,...it wont apply the dark theme of master grim :(
6. i installed theme bypass..but theme wont still apply
7. i uninstalled uxstyle...and still wont apply dark theme
8. am planning for a restore point..but it will uninstall my whole day installations of drivers and apps :(

any help sir as to what issue i have here?

thank you so much

I would say to try and go back to a good restore point, if not a clean install may be in order again (if you don't have a system image).

You must understand, any customization tools you use for Windows 10 at this moment are going to have bugs so any customization tools you use right now until there are stable releases ready it would be prudent to set restore points or even better idea would be to make an image of your system before making any changes, this way in the event something does go wrong you have something to fall back on without having to reinstall the entire operating system

hahaha..its all cool dude...thanks for replying... then looks like back to square one for me tonight :D

coz i really love dark theme... hidden dark theme of win10 plus Mr. Grim's Dark theme...Win 10 is awesome

No problem, BTW, on installation Windows 10 does not have system restore enabled by default you must enable it if you want to use it, not that I really think it's any good because most of the time it doesn't work like it should but for now I have to use it because the good folks at RollBack Rx have been sitting on their hands and will not have a Windows 10 compatible copy of RollBack Rx available until January of 2016.

The problem with the theme not changing could be related with Uxstyle, I found that happened to me allot on Windows 8 and 10 if you change your theme a few times, a reboot would fix it again, UxthemeSiganatureBypass doesn't seem to have this problem, I would recommend just using them both and you shouldn't have any problems.

Not sure if this is the case or not but if you have put your PC to Sleep, Locked or Hibernate then Windows will load the Default Colors upon wake, to fix this delete the Default Colors Key.

Ahhhh, yes the old registry hack from 8.1, wasn't sure it would work in 10, thanks!

The problem with the folders loading in the left hand pane still exisits tho, it's a roll of the dice when I right click to save an image, sometimes they will load other times all I get is the "waiting to load" circle but they never load.

but for now... i will just try another clean install then use reflect as back up.. coz i really love dark theme :D

He said it could be a couple of weeks or longer depending on people's requests and reported debug logs. You'll experience the nag screen if you are using different hardware componenets with a previously generated key. So it sounds like you're good with the one you've got.

I would personally advise against using the Ux Theme Signature bypass reg hack on Windows 10 for now. I tried it on Windows 10 and it messed my laptop up bad. Apparently it has components that don't fully support the official release of Windows 10 atm.

[freak69ize]

Going back a few posts on what Mark said.... I had the same problem with Uxstyle not changing themes after changing a few times.. although i never tried rebooting.. i uninstalled Uxstyle and reinstalled it everytime it messed up.... it was a nuisance but not that bad. I guess my point is since Uxstlye does work without messing things up it may be smart to stick with it for now.

Are you taling about the registry hack for UxThemeSignatureBypass itself or the reg hack to get rid of white areas?


The reg hack for UxThemeSignatureBypass was written for 10 and tested on it so I don't see how it messed anything up for you, as for the reg hack to get rid of the white areas, that was from 8.1 but I have both installed and both work fine for me.


Did you manually insert the code or did you use the .reg files supplied by Grim and if so, you did right click on the .reg files and select "merge" correct?

Dark Knight (http://virtualcustoms.net/member.php/199178-Dark-Knight) what i did in my last post is still working great. the only thing i had to do was uninstall clover. it was causing major problems. if anyone has a app to add tabs to windows explorer that works with 10 please let me know.

I wouldn't know bud, I haven't used Clover in quite some time, I tried it way back when it first came out and didn't like it that much so uninstalled it and have been using the native Windows Explorer since.

You might have better luck with the stand alone program Explorer++ (https://explorerplusplus.com/)

You have to use old new explorer to have that change.

You will need to use OldNewExplorer (highly recommended), SiB and Aero Glass are supported but the theme looks great without them.

Tools you may need:

Latest Release v1.1.6 (http://tihiy.net/files/OldNewExplorer.rar)
Bug with latest version, renaming or creating new folders returns error "cant find the specified file", "The file or Folder does not exist"
This relates to the option "Use Libraries, Hide the folders in This PC" Disable this option and you can rename folders again.
Use this Reg file instead to remove the extra folders.

I'm loving this theme so far, but I'm having an issue with the reg hack that removes folders from This PC. Basically it applies, but, the moment i reopen This PC (or any explorer window for that matter), the reg hack automatically gets undone. Basically the folders keep reappearing in This PC. Any idea what's causing that, and how to fix that issue?


---EDIT---

I figured it out. Apparently it only works properly for me if I use it alongside the OldNewExplorer setting.

[archmage94]

I wonder if animated lock screens could someday be possible for Windows 10? Now I realize the reason why Dreamscenes are possible is because it was originally a feature of Windows Vista, and the code for it was still in Windows 7 and the Dreamscene activator activates that code, and Dreamscene Video Wallpaper will do the same thing on Windows 8 and Windows 10 (Just expect it to be constantly nagging at you to register) but I wonder if an animated lockscreen wallpaper is possible, or will be possible?

[archmage94]

Oh hey could someone help me with something? I'm looking for a wallpaper I used to have, it's of a dark sci-fi hangar bay (I think it's a hangar bay) there are some ships flying arounf in the large chamber, it actually fits well with HUD Evolution if you see it, it's cool, and I want that wallpaper again, if someone knows where that is I would appreciate it

hi mr grim can you please help me when installing win areo glass do you olso have to ajust the reg files as iinstuctive in window 8 i tryed to in stall it it an kepted runing in cmd mode tryin to do it in windows 10 any help would be gratefull thanks

[Noesis]

Hi,

I installed the HUD theme for 8.1 on windows 10 and it works perfectly. Why now work on HUD theme to perfect it ? "not that i have found any issues yet" I have only used it for 30 mins but damn its sick :cheeky:

[dhjohns]

This theme works great! No additional programs other than bigmuscle's aeroglass. I do not use any start menu mods, or OldNewExplorer. I like Win10 default start menu, and never did like Win 7 startmenu. I can accomplish exactly what I need regarding Windows Explorer with registry edits, and I don't break anything.

[Devildog]

Some Awesome Work, Thanks for all the Effort.

[Mr GRiM]

To remove the 6 folders there is a new method from Vishal-Gupta http://www.askvg.com/tip-remove-6-extra-folders-from-windows-10-explorer-this-pc/

[dhjohns]

Would it be possible to include several lighter shades of grey than in version 2? Another idea would be to have a color chooser option to enable different colors instead of black, perhaps with slider bars. Just a thought, but this theme is great none-the-less.

First, uninstall what you have already done. Once you have done that then create an EMPTY aeroglass folder on your C drive. Copy the debug files to that. Now install the aeroglass for windows 8.1 making sure to leave options NOT checked. That should take care of it. Please be sure to read what other people have posted in the MSFN forum as it will be extremely beneficial to you.

[Uxot]

Hi i just got Win10..wanted to install this..i think im half done... :/ like in info system the left panel is white and ThisPC window theres a white bar at top...i installed OldNewexplorer,UxStyle,Uxstyle Bypass..what i am missing? i dont want to change start menu etc i just want bright windows to be black.

thanks

nvm i found out with OldNewExplorer...now to get rid of the white bar at the top of windows..

and also i thought this theme would change the all settings background in action center? :(

[Wolfy]

BTW, also something else I found not regarding this post but I am also using a logon image changer I found on Lifehacker that works very well, read about it here:


*snip* (http://lifehacker.com/this-utility-can-change-your-windows-10-login-image-1721713560)


Just so you don't have to stick with the same logon image all the time.

Just tried using it and it corrupted my logon screen. At first I tried to browse to upload an image and the program crashed (should have been my first hint it wasn't stable duh) but then I realized I just wanted a black logon screen so I went to colors and selected black and hit apply. When I pressed win + L it just kept flashing at me and doing the loading circle. Tried typing in my password really fast (figured even if it isn't showing the password box it should be selected by default) but no luck. Same thing happened on boot and I ended up needing to boot to recovery mode by pressing f8 as windows loaded and doing a system restore. Everything is back to working fine now but that program is highly unstable (on my win10 pro system at least) and I do not suggest using it.

Also great job Grim! But might I suggest adding:

(http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/4571-system-restore-point-create-windows-10-a.html)http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/4571-system-restore-point-create-windows-10-a.html

and

http://www.7tutorials.com/4-ways-boot-safe-mode-windows-10 (http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/4571-system-restore-point-create-windows-10-a.html)

To the start of your post and telling people that it is absolutely vital they know that or have a recovery disc ready? But seriously system restore is so much less hassle, especially when it is like the 243rd time you have screwed things up trying to tweak win10 lol.

If you are using OldNewExplorer, there were errors on a previous build. There is a new version out now which you should download that, at least for me, works perfectly. http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/170375-oldnewexplorer-117/?p=1105015

Thank you,fixed some crashes..now idk if other users of this theme have the Compatibility screen problem i have :/

DHJohn,

Can you share how you did that? I was able to get the HUD EVO icon pack to work on 10 but when I install the theme, my start menu gets all tweaked and like you, I want to keep the Win10 start menu

I use this tool http://www.glass8.eu/files/UxThemeSignatureBypass.7z instead of UXStyle. I inject it with this code
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows]
"AppInit_DLLs"="C:\\AeroGlass\\UxThemeSignatureBypass64.dll"
"LoadAppInit_DLLs"=dword:00000001
"RequireSignedAppInit_DLLs"=dword:00000000 assuming you have bigmuscle's Aeroglass installed. I don't have the icon pack installed. Perhaps that is what is giving you trouble. I suppose you have the theme installed in C:\Windows\Resources\Themes?

Just tried using it and it corrupted my logon screen. At first I tried to browse to upload an image and the program crashed (should have been my first hint it wasn't stable duh) but then I realized I just wanted a black logon screen so I went to colors and selected black and hit apply. When I pressed win + L it just kept flashing at me and doing the loading circle. Tried typing in my password really fast (figured even if it isn't showing the password box it should be selected by default) but no luck. Same thing happened on boot and I ended up needing to boot to recovery mode by pressing f8 as windows loaded and doing a system restore. Everything is back to working fine now but that program is highly unstable (on my win10 pro system at least) and I do not suggest using it.

Hmmm, worked fine for me and is still working fine.



To the start of your post and telling people that it is absolutely vital they know that or have a recovery disc ready? But seriously system restore is so much less hassle, especially when it is like the 243rd time you have screwed things up trying to tweak win10 lol.

That one time that you get the message that system restore could not restore your system to the recovery point you made, you'll whish you had an image or recovery disk. System restore is not infallible and has been known not to work.

[Dark Knight]

If you are using OldNewExplorer, there were errors on a previous build. There is a new version out now which you should download that, at least for me, works perfectly. http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/170375-oldnewexplorer-117/?p=1105015


Ahhh yes, much better than the last build :Peace:

I had the same thing happen that dark knight experienced. TG I had a recovery image.

I'm not sure if it will solve your problem but do a search for "Windows 10 secret dark theme" you should see a link from Betanewsdotcom. ( I would link but not enough posts -_- ) The site provides a how-to and an option to download a reghack to apply the theme.

Hi Mr Grimm, when will your themes for Win 8.1 will be ported to Win 10 ? I use a couple of your themes on my Win 10 Home, but they dont display right, example is the task bar, doesnt change... Thanks.

[Mr GRiM]

Hi Mr Grimm, when will your themes for Win 8.1 will be ported to Win 10 ? I use a couple of your themes on my Win 10 Home, but they dont display right, example is the task bar, doesnt change... Thanks.

The taskbar is not themeable on Windows 10 so that can not be fixed, only problem with most 8.1 themes is the taskbar item spacing, 8.1 themes are not really compatible with Windows 10 though and all of them need to be properly imported.

Mr. Grim,

I have been able to import HUD Evolution for 8.1 into Windows 10 with a couple of issues. 1 with SIB it will not take the start menu, not an issue as I dont mind the new start menu but it does take away the the Win 10 start button. 2 the notification arrow\button no longer functions. 3 as mentioned earlier the context menu is White. I tried fixing 3 in registry with no luck, any suggestions? I would even offer to pay for the fixes, and if I am having issues, I am sure there are many more

I actually never have minded using Never Combine for the taskbar, and I find that the colors are somewhat still themed, you get some of the bonus text glow from the theme. The worst thing about trying to use Windows 8.1 VC themes on Windows 10 are the windows control buttons being not the locations or sizes they were designed to be. Next worst thing about trying to use 8.1 themes is the rare ability to use OldNewExplorer. IMO, It should be avoided at all costs, the best bet would be to use Windows 7 or maybe 8 if you want most of the VC themes at this point in time. Or wait and use Mr Grim's Windows 10 Black Edition until they are all available by Lamia and Mr Grim.

Those files were just meant to be added to first theme, they were not intended as a standalone package, I am working on an update very soon, maybe later today, found a few bugs and bits that needed changing, also going to add a few variations with a bit of color.

I already know about the regkey with AppsUseLightTheme which i did 5 mins after installing windows 10.
The above will however not change the color of the context menu while using HUD theme from windows 8.1 by Mr Grim.

Yes that the same problems i face with HUD theme for 8.1
I hope Mr. Grim will work on it or allow some with the correct skill set to work on it if he dosnt have the time.

[paradigm4096]

ah, muh bad. I haven't tried the imported HUD theme yet, I thought you were talking about the Black Edition Theme via this thread title. I'll give HUD a try and see what it does. All I really know ATM is my context menu is dark using the black edition theme. sry mate, hope you can get a resolution.

Yes because i installed the reg key for context menu given in this post by Grim and its not working with HUD theme so i am looking for a solution or fix. I just dont understand why the regkey from here dont work with HUD theme. I thought it changes the color to dark while it adds the extra menus.

Is anyone else having the issue that click delay is enabled for them? (you can not right or left click while typing or for a few seconds afterwards)? I turned this off in the settings area and merged a reg file designed to turn it off but I'm still having the issue. Could be because I'm running a win8 theme on win10 though...

Not really related to this great theme, but as it was mentioned to be compatible with Aero Glass 1.32, i gave that installer a try Mr. Grim supplied with this thread.

As far as i can see both on my PC and my Laptop, Aero glass by Bigmuscle in it's current state interferes with Nvidia display drivers - at least for me. It seems to run at first without a problem, but soon after a reboot i noticed a stuttering display alongside with an exclamation mark at the graphics card in device manager - stating it has stopped "because of a problem". If i go and install drivers again it seems to be fixed again - until next reboot.

Even more interesting: on my laptop i installed win10 alongside another win 8.1 os, so i get a bootmanager display at startup to choose which os to load. Most of the times the Aero Glass popup screen with the machine id already appears in that bootmanager screen! So it looks like Aero Glass already loads up here instead of being started when i login in to windows - maybe that's the problem which causes display driver to fail running as expected.

In short: i would not recommend using aero glass in it's current state when you own a nvidia card.

[Uxot]

yeah..had the same issue and didnt understand so i renamed the updated theme folder so it does not replace it (cant delete the old theme it gives something about user-mapped something o.O)

[Starraider]

Fantastic work, thanks a lot Mr GRiM, especially the Blue one is my personal Favourite!:Smile:

[blackwind]

Is it possible to fix the green submenu arrows on the desktop context menu, the purple checkmarks on the desktop context menu, the white dropdown when you select the searchbox in File Explorer, or the black on black title caption and window controls in Settings when AppsUseLightTheme is disabled?

[dhjohns]

yeah..had the same issue and didnt understand so i renamed the updated theme folder so it does not replace it (cant delete the old theme it gives something about user-mapped something o.O)

You might be able to delete it in Safe Mode. I have several OSes which I can boot to, so I just deleted them from one of those while I was grabbing some updates.

[Wolfy]

No i havent even notined that issue. Just tried right clicking while typing this and it worked instantly.


What issue ?

Evidently the issue was when I updated to win10 my trackpad driver didn't update so I had some feature called "palmcheck" that I needed to disable but it wasn't visible until I uninstalled and reinstalled the driver.

[Robbo]

Thanks for the update Mr GRiM (http://virtualcustoms.net/member.php/1-Mr-GRiM) the new styles look really cool.

erm...sadly when i go safemode in Win10 its just a black screen with mouse saying safemode :/

Firstly a huge thank you to Mr Grimm,,,, awesome theme, love it.
I do have a question though, and I'm sure it's something I've missed or not done.
When I open "file explorer", near the top, the line/bar containing "File, Home, Share and View" (I think it's the top of the ribbon) has stayed with a white background, when I expand it the whole section is white.
I used UX Style, Theme Signature, OldNewExplorer and winaerotweaker.
Any help to fix this will be gratefully received. Thanks in advance.

In OldNewExplorer click uninstall, then in the Appearance options click the box Use the command bar instead of Ribbon. Now install again and sign out and see if that fixed the Ribbon being visible.

[Mr GRiM]

What if the installer for Aero Glass get's stuck on "Finishing Installation"?

That shouldn't happen if you downloaded the latest installer, the stuck installer still completes the install, you can just kill it with Task manager.

Aero Glass updated to latest version, uninstall old version first, restart will be required.

[archmage94]

So all I need to do is reboot? Also I was never running Aero Glass before I started installing it

It's me again.

Gave the updated version of Aero Glass a try. Looks like it runs smoother & better now, but this time BlackglassEnhanced (v. 0.5) is in trouble with this version, causing graphical glitches. It produces a heavy glow and you'll get a copy of the previous window in the transparent areas.

BTW: found out the old "glass2k" still works :)

I also use System Transparency by Prisoner. The only time i get the leftover window showing up when i close a window is if i have the desktop and icons option selected. So i leave that one unselected. Also, by copying the ini into the transparency folder i can get my settings to load at startup.

I thought I saw that as well but it only seemed to be for a brief second and then when I went to check again it wouldn't happen, I thought maybe I was seeing things, I will see if there is anything I can do about it, to get the context menu fully colored requires a bit of trickery but I found an alternative way that may have better results.

Sadly didn't do anything for me :( I didn't install the "Start is back" or "Aeroglass" because I like the start menu and don't want to use the debug version for aeroglass. Do either of those programs affect it?

Is there any way I can just get the file explorer from this theme? I just need it dark as it hurts my eyes at night when its white. If anyone could explain I would appreciate it very much :loving:.

I found a mod for Windows Media Player which makes it black like the theme. It works very well. Download zip file from here http://charleston2378.deviantart.com/art/Another-Tavaris-WMP-12-287758730 Follow instructions carefully, it is really quite simple though. Then run this in a .reg file Put Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 at top.


Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
