Custom Class Maps and Import Scripts for Windows 10 TH2 & RS1

OK I would like to share some custom import scripts I have made for importing themes from Windows 7, Windows 8 and from Windows 10 to TH2 and RS1

This is a bit more complicated in some ways but once you get the hang of it it becomes very easy.

First thing to do is select the appropriate Windows Style Builder, there are 3 different folders for TH2 and RS1, each one has a specific import script.


Windows 7 to Windows 10 TH2 (Only for TH2, does not work on RS1).

1. Open the folder called "Windows Style Builder 7-10 TH2"

2. Open the WSB Program.

3. Go to File > Open > Import 7 Theme

4. Open the the Windows 7 Theme you want to import.

5. Save your theme and then reopen it, then save it once more and your done.


Windows 8 to Windows 10 TH2.

1. Open the folder called "Windows Style Builder 8-10 TH2"

2. Open the WSB Program.

3. Go to File > Open > Import 7 Theme

4. Open the the Windows 8 Theme you want to import and do not save.

5. Select Import Style Hack and select "10 TH2 Import Fix" (Very important!!, will have white flashing screen if this step is missed)

6. Save your theme and then reopen it, then save it once more and your done.


Windows 10 RTM to Windows 10 TH2

1. Open the folder called "Windows Style Builder 10-10 TH2"

2. Open the WSB Program.

3. Go to File > Open > Import 7 Theme

4. Open the the Windows 10 Theme you want to import and do not save.

5. Select Import Style Hack and select "10 TH2 Import Fix" (Very important!!, will have white flashing screen if this step is missed)

6. Save your theme and then reopen it, then save it once more and your done.


For Redstone 1 it's pretty much exactly the same but this time I was not able to import a Windows 7 theme so this explanation will be skipped.


Windows 8 to Windows 10 RS1

1. Open the folder called "Windows Style Builder 8-10 RS1"

2. Open the WSB Program.

3. Go to File > Open > Import 7 Theme

4. Open the the Windows 8 Theme you want to import and do not save.

5. Select Import Style Hack and select "10 Import Fix" (Very important!!, will have white flashing screen if this step is missed)

6. Save your theme and then reopen it, then save it once more and your done.


Windows 10 RTM or TH2 to Windows 10 RS1

1. Open the folder called "Windows Style Builder 10-10 RS1"

2. Open the WSB Program.

3. Go to File > Open > Import 7 Theme

4. Open the the Windows 10 Theme you want to import and do not save.

5. Select Import Style Hack and select "10 Import Fix" (Very important!!, will have white flashing screen if this step is missed)

6. Save your theme and then reopen it, then save it once more and your done.


So that's it, not too hard, of course not everything can be imported to Windows 10 but most of it can be, this will also automatically add back any missing classes that are removed and restore support for the Start menu and Taskbar so it will work with StartIsBack.

Information

Update March 21st 2016: Fixed a bug with importing Windows 7 themes, Some of the DWM Windows 10 Captions were messed up and not importing in the correct order.

WARNING

I am not responsible for anyone who bricks their system using these import scripts, always create a restore point, it's always best to experiment on a Virtual Machine before using on your live OS

Awesome! Thanks a ton mate! Had a lot of themes on 8.1 that i tweaked, recolored and stuff and didnt wanna lose all that. You da man Grim! :)

with this it is much easier to import any theme. Superb Mr GRiM

it's ask me for email address and serial key, it's not free? I am asking because first time i want to test it and i didn't see somewhere for paid or something :P

Well i ported my first theme today and everything seemed to port over except for the rc menu. I tried making a style hack from the win8 msstyle and that didnt work.. even tho when i look into wsb all the images are there. Then i tried making a stlye hack of your Hud Evo for 10 rc menu and that didnt work either. Any suggestions? Thanks

If by RC you mean Context menu then you will have to either disable the immersive desktop context menu or skin it in WSB

Lists, Menus, & Tabs > Immersive Context Menu
Lists, Menus, & Tabs > Immersive Dark Context Menu

If you hold shift and click on Style hack it will open the style scripts, select the style script "ImmersiveStart to Menu Style" this will help you but the immersive menus do skin all that well.

You will still have to change the border fill color in the following locations.

Lists, Menus, & Tabs > Immersive Context Menu > PopUpBackground
Lists, Menus, & Tabs > Immersive Dark Context Menu > PopUpBackground

The other border colors are taken from Fonts, Colors, & System Metrics > Fonts & System Metrics and if you check the FlatMenus Bool it will make the border smaller and can result in a better look, with the flat menus bool checked the outside border is Fonts, Colors, & System Metrics > Fonts & System Metrics > BtnShadow.

There is no background image, you have to use a fill color or image in Lists, Menus, & Tabs > Immersive Context Menu > PopUpItem > Normal, disabled and disabled hot.

Ok i think im all lined out now. Had to download your Hud theme and make a style hack. Thanks for everything mate. :)

Thanks Grim, your instructions made everything easy peazy!

Just one thing, as always I am having trouble with the start menu after import, as you can see in the screen I have attached the bottom of the start menu is messed up, it's the only thing that I have noticed so far other than having to resize the tray flyout menu button on the taskbar that needs to be fixed. Is there a quick fix or a style hack that can take care of this or am I going to have to go in manually to fix it?

Nice job importing, like the tray flyout button,to fix the start menu you just need to install the blank font, see attached.

One other thing you should change is the content margins for the frame and the top frame image.

Windows & Caption Buttons > Aero > DWM Window > Frames > Window > Top > ContentMargins > 11, 0, 0, 0

Windows & Caption Buttons > Aero > DWM Window > Frames > Aero Peek Window > Normal > Top > ContentMargins > 11, 0, 0, 0
