Enjoy!!

For Fall 2018 Creators Update 1809 (RS5) only!!

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

Tools you may need:


Uxstyle, Theme Signature Bypass and UltraUxThemePatcher
UxTheme service hook - Visual Theme Signature Bypass

ONE (OldNewExplorer)
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
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 blur, drop shadow and immersive context menus for start menu

Aero Glass for Win8.1+ V1.5.10
Experience native look of Aero Glass interface on Windows 8.x+
This utility returns the complete glass effect into windows frames.
Fully native including MSStyle themes and DWM API compatibility

Winaero Tweaker
Winaero Tweaker is an all-in-one application which will include most options available in the free Winaero apps and extend it as much as possible. It is a universal tweaker software which supports Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10.

Recommended Prior to Applying Custom Themes

Create a Restore Point
Install Fonts included in the "Extras" folder
Apply System Metrics included in the "Extras" folder and logout or reboot
Install an iPack of your choice to change the system icons (check the Theme Extras section above for a link to the icons in the preview)!
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!
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!!

Any chance for a 1903 port?

Any chance for a 1903 port?

I will at the end of the month when the final version of 1903 is released to the general public, this way I know no changes are being made to it and chances are they probably won't. The port is real easy, just don't want to have to do it twice.

If you just cannot wait, all one needs to do is take the RS5 theme version and swap out the shell folder in the theme with the one I have attached supplied by Mr GRiM and the theme will work on 1903.
