    I agree with Moonique, but if you want you can read through the steps I took to apply themes in this thread: https://virtualcustoms.net/showthrea...for-Windows-11

    Thanks for this!

    Seems pretty straightforward, except for "4. Adjust System Metrics: Merge the theme's window metrics file with the system metrics settings."
    I have NO idea what that means, that's definitely not something I've ever had to do in Win10.

    The only thing that guide needs is the download links for the required apps but I'm pretty sure those can be found in other theme threads here.

    I've bookmarked the link and if/when I update to Win11 (still not so sure I'll ever want to do that ) I'll know where to look.

    The apps are included in the zip file for download. As for the system metrics this could be considered optional, it is a .reg files included in the download that adjusts the dimensions and some other properties of the window frames. You simply double click the registry file. I believe we started using this tweak in W8. I'm glad the write up was useful so far.

    Hmmm, I've never used that but if/when the time comes I'll take a look.

    Thanks again

    Make sure that the theme you want to apply is selected in the Windows Settings. Go to Settings > Personalization > Themes and ensure that the desired theme is chosen.
