[GUIDE] How to truly theme Windows 10 (works with Anniversary update)

[MoonlightSylv]

Hi! This guide allows you to theme your Windows 10, no I don't mean change the wallpaper or color, I mean you can make it look like this:

 

First things first, create a restore point, do this by searching "restore point" in the start menu and clicking create:

 

Next install UXStyle from http://uxstyle.com/

Then OldNewExplorer from: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/170375-oldnewexplorer-118/

 

Now all you need to do is find some themes, a good place to look is DeviantArt, here are a couple of my favorite themes:

 

Adapta: http://deredrosid.deviantart.com/art/Adapta-675581778

 

 

Penumbra 10: http://scope10.deviantart.com/art/Penumbra-10-Windows-10-visual-style-568740374

 

 

Ades: http://unisira.deviantart.com/art/Ades-Theme-for-Windows-10-600210043

 

 

Download the theme of your choice and transfer the files for your version of Windows 10 to the themes folder: 

 

Now all you need to do is apply the theme via PC Settings for the Creators Update or Control Panel for older versions.

 

Thanks for reading, hope this helped you out

UXStyle works on Vista, and there's themes for it if that's what you mean.

 

Do you still run Vista?

This shouldn't effect performance at all unless you're running on a potato (celeron)

Even then, it doesn't run any extra processes in the background, so you're either thinking of something else or your laptop was just slow.

I tried the hidden black theme once , might be my fault because my laptop is far from slow.

Was it on Windows 10? I remember the method for Windows 7 did run a background process.

Now that you have the easy part done, time for the hard part, finding the themes. Lucky for you, I've found a guy on DeviantArt that makes a ton of Windows 10 themes.

 

W10 themes: http://neiio.deviantart.com/gallery/56526056/Windows-10-VS

W10 Anniversary update themes: http://neiio.deviantart.com/journal/ANNIVERSARY-UPDATE-625740402

 

Download the theme of your choice and transfer the files for your version of Windows 10 to the themes folder: 

 

Now all you need to do is apply the theme via the Control Panel not PC Settings, but the Control Panel.
