The original icon pack is now discontinued, so I put a different icon pack. In order to install it, you must have a tool called 7tsp, which is in the description; Then, you have to install .NET Framework 3.5 from the Add Programs and Features page in the Control Panel; Finally, download the provided icon pack in the description and use 7tsp in order to install it.
this is a very detailed-video but there are still somethings missing - start menu and taskbar reflection (classic shell has it but only works with start menu (win 11) so translucenttb should include it in taskbar) - log on, log off, shutdown sounds can be enabled by creating powershell tasks which were run by task scheduler/group policy editor - windows 7 uses language bar (2-letter (EN) next to the expand notification icon, not 3-letter (ENG) language list near the action center/desktop button), go to settings so change that
The start menu reflection is not on windows 11. but in 10, it is! I dont even know why. but there way be a reason cause they would add the reflection too.
In WindowsBlinds11, if you go to the settings of it and you click "non-acrylic blur" and restart, it'll really nail that aero look and make it less blurrier. (EDIT: MY BAD IT ONLY WORKS ON WINDOWS 10 SORRY)

You must have WindowsBlinds installed to apply the skin. If you already have it installed and activated, just double click the wba file and a notification should appear saying that the skin has been installed, and then click on the notification.

Hey, i love windows 7 so so much, is it worth the time, most of the comments say that it runs perfekt, but i'm just a bit nervois to do this, cause i had problems in the past, even with the default win 11. But i have to say, it's so impressiv, that you made this with every detail. I post an update when i'm throu with this. So stay healthy and enjoy win 7 ❤❤❤
Bro it doesn't work. The explorer patcher when explorer restarts nothing change in taskbar. And when install openshell it doesn't open. When I restart the computer (Not VM) it hangs on the black screen. I followed all of RUclips fix steps but doesn't work. HELP
I don't know if it would work on 23H2 of Windows 11 but you could try to do it yourself and find out if it works. I haven't tested it out myself yet either but I've already tested this on a vm of Windows 11 22H2 and I also already did this on my actual Windows 11 22H2 installation on my pc so I didn't feel like wasting my time doing that yet since I already did it multiple times.
taskbar tweaker despite its message still works for you on windows 11, but i cant seem to get it to work for me. how can i fix this? also, windowblinds wont make my taskbar glossy for whatever reason..? it just changes the icon to make it look like windows 7.
This video is great. But you may want to make a txt file with the links on it and the windows 7 files in a downloadable zip file. for those of us how don't have a windows 7 machine to copy then from.. After following along this video I am now stuck.. I can no longer copy or create new folder or move files. The Branding basebrd.dll will not save.. Error "Cannot rename the original file. saving cancelled."
What exactly do you mean by that though? Even on Windows 10 I think you could theme it to look like Windows 7 just as accuratly as you could in Windows 11 nowadays in some kind of way but when Windows 11 was brand new there wasn't much way to make it look accurate to Windows 7 like you could using Windows 10 at the time since software such as WindowBlinds didn't really support it yet. Also, I think on Windows 10 you have more options such as the non-acrylic blur setting which I don't think is present in Windows 11 for example and you could make the start menu transparent unlike Windows 11 from what I've seen so if anything Windows 10 could be better at looking like Windows 7 than Windows 11 is.

Best 11 to 7 transformation ever! Nice job on video, really detailed and helpful.
That's pretty convincing tbh. You really did go further than most people would with theming windows 11 to make it look like 7 here.
this is a very detailed-video but there are still somethings missing
- start menu and taskbar reflection (classic shell has it but only works with start menu (win 11) so translucenttb should include it in taskbar)
- log on, log off, shutdown sounds can be enabled by creating powershell tasks which were run by task scheduler/group policy editor
- windows 7 uses language bar (2-letter (EN) next to the expand notification icon, not 3-letter (ENG) language list near the action center/desktop button), go to settings so change that
The start menu reflection is not on windows 11. but in 10, it is! I dont even know why. but there way be a reason cause they would add the reflection too.
In WindowsBlinds11, if you go to the settings of it and you click "non-acrylic blur" and restart, it'll really nail that aero look and make it less blurrier. (EDIT: MY BAD IT ONLY WORKS ON WINDOWS 10 SORRY)
