When putting the shortcuts to the Start Menu, change the Narrator shortcut's path to "%windir% arrator.exe". 3.- Before you install Aero Window Manager, get the Visual C++ Runtime 2019 if you run into some issues. 4.- Don't use the Thick Frames mod used in this video, get the alternative found in the link in the description.
also, the 8.0 action center can bug out sometimes. the 8.1 one works perfectly fine. for narrator, it anyone wants it in a foreign language, go to your locale folder in system32 (not like en-us but for example let's say polish, so you would go to the pl folder and take the narrator dll from there)

I remember years ago (around 2021 or such) I was obsessed into getting that Windows 7 look on modern Windows (especially the Aero theme with the slim window buttons and transparency) but at that time there was no way to recreate that. Nowadays, it seems like the scene has completely changed, and now it is almost indistinguishable from base Win 7! I would just love to see how the theme acts in resolutions up to 4k, in case the icons start to blur or such. Cuz if not, I am very tempted to try it on my main system!
I remember trying to do this type of thing back in 2021, and I was sad because I could only get the minimize and maximize buttons to be the same size as the close button!
i went on the entire journey to set this up myself and the result is fantastic!! amazing work putting it all together and making this tutorial. the only issues i ran into were openwith enhanced not installing at all, and the windows explorer icon in the start menu still being the windows 10 one (its the windows 7 one everywhere else). but those r pretty minor so i dont mind. ^_^
This really looks like a Windows 11 development reset so much that they decided to base the next build on Windows 7, keeping the NT 10.0 and everything.
I had this theme for weeks but sadly it can crash everything and make your pc unusable, that's why you should have an restore point which I constantly need to use.
Great work mate! It really looks like its windows 7 in the end! I would like to ask if this windows 7 msstyle theme is compatible with windows 11, perhaps..?
One problem, the open, close and minimise animation is still from windows 10, it would be cool if there was a mod that brought back those animations from windows 7
22:34 While downloading like that, it gives an error saying "Guests do not have access to download attachments. Please log in and try again.," can you fix that?
Everything has worked perfectly, however it still says windows 10 home on control panel and on the desktop watermark for some reason. however i'm confident that I imported all the res files into resource hacker and saved them each
Best transformation I have ever seen! Btw, i have a question for u ;). I have some trouble on 53:56 . ** = problem In that section, i used cmd as administrator, copying and pasting the location, wrote the code "regsvr32 msdia140_awm.dll", after that i closed it and used ExecTI opening the cmd and doing the same thing again, in the tutorial u showed me that i need to go to aero10 folder and import the reg file and fhen i wrote injector.exe, **it cannot load the injecton library**.

Will windows updates break it? If so, do I just need to repatch the system for icons, or completely revert to the restore point?

Sorry, I'm Brazilian, so the part where you open and change some files I need to do in the en-US folder or in the folder for my language and region: pt-BR?
You need the pt-BR files, otherwise you will probably run out of texts or it will crash, I believe you can try to find the files in portuguese using a Windows 7 ISO, but it is better to change the language of the system

I think no, unless you can get replacement files that are Spanish. You would have to work with es-XX folder instead of en-XX, where XX is the country/state depending on your Windows.
would it be possible to disable aspects of the transformation and make windows look like windows 10 again if you somehow want to go back or would you need to reinstall windows cause of the amounts of edits done?
