Installing themes on Windows 10:
Some Tools You May Need

Uxstyle, Theme Signature Bypass (http://virtualcustoms.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=74615&d=1470338612) and UltraUxThemePatcher
UxTheme service hook - Visual Theme Signature Bypass

ONE
OldNewExplorer is the Windows 10 (and Windows 8.1, and 8) shell extension / tweaker which can undo "improvements" to file browsing made in newer Windows versions. Everything is optional for your liking.
For best results, use these settings:

StartIsBack++ for Windows 10 (http://startisback.com/#download-tab)
What's hot about StartIsBack on Windows 10 now?
Full taskbar skinning!
Ability to reduce resource usage by disabling newer Start menu and Cortana processes from prelaunching
Ability to use adequately sized (32x32) large icons and larger start menu button on taskbar
Modern icon glyphs on Start menu right hand pane
Modern blur, drop shadow and immersive context menus for start menu
Fully dynamic DPI aware start menu and configuration app
New modern style with round user picture
Lots of new minor additions and tweaks

Recommended Prior to Applying Custom Themes:

1.) Create a Restore Point
2.) Install Fonts included in the "Extras" folder
3.) Apply System Metrics included in the "Extras" folder and logout or reboot
4.) Install an iPack of your choice to change the system icons
5.) Select the Theme's Start Menu and Taskbar in the StartIsBack++ configuration. If it's not a visible option to select the theme's start menu, apply your custom theme first!
6.) Copy a Start Orb from the "Theme" folder to a new location, rename it, then open the StartIsBack++ configuration, click Add... select the Start Orb and click Apply.


I take no responsibility for anyone that bricks their system, use custom themes at your own risk

Please make sure you download the correct theme file according to your Windows version!

Anybody happen to know where a Uxstyle that is compatible with 1903 can be found? I have tried a couple different steampunk skins now that need it, but Windows wont let me install it since I updated.
Thanks for any info.

i did that, and with it i can get the start button icon changed (though it wasn't in the options, i had to browse and select one which is ok) but no options for taskbar. only the 4 default options for visual style-start menu/task bar.

it's just as i said, everything is fine except the task bar, the instructions says "5.) Select the Theme's Start Menu and Taskbar in the StartIsBack++ configuration. If it's not a visible option to select the theme's start menu, apply your custom theme first!" which i have tried a couple times but no luck :( i tried to follow everything exact but seems nothing works. but everything else is working fine, the icons, cursor, background, start button orb, just not task bar and start menu apperance.

yes your custom theme is not in the start is back
one question do you have patched your system for using 3rd party themes?
please use default windows theme and try to install ultrauxtheme patcher run as administrator
after patching and restarting your pc try again using your custom theme

Must have taken soo much time to make this theme as the result is totaly fantastic, the detail just blows me away and the wallpaper you can almost feel the texture.
Another one of the greatest themes to admire.

hello and you can use UltraUXTheme patcher:Smile:

Problem - Patcher is patching, but after a reboot nothing is modified
UXThemePatcher does not patch all files even if my Windows Version is supported. How do I fix it?
In rare cases after a Windows 10 Update, the patcher is not able to take ownership of the necessary files in c:\windows\system32 (uxtheme.dll, UXInit.dll, themeui.dll)
Only solution today: Sign in as Administrator, take ownership (http://winaero.com/blog/how-to-take-ownership-and-get-full-access-to-files-and-folders-in-windows-10/) to the 3 files and grant full authorization
reboot and afterwards use the patcher again as Administrator
The modification should work now

My bad. I am actually running 1903. I still tried the method above with no success. This is what ultrauxthemepatcher reports after applying the patch:

84314

I check the system32 folder, and two of the files have backups but not uxtheme.dll.

thats ok because uxtheme.dll not need to patch
but if you are on 1903 then you need using supported themes working on 1903
