I love the themes of Windows Vista, 7 and 8. You will be very grateful to you to keep the issues updated in the next versions of Windows 10. Sincerely I am very grateful, we have the opportunity to visually relive our old operating systems thanks to you . I wish him well.

Megahaosguy Featured By Owner Edited Aug 7, 2018

Confirmed to work with latest (contemporary) Windows 10 x64 Version 1803.

If you have any problems where the theme appears to do nothing once applied, there was most likely an issue with the installation of Ultra UX Theme Patcher; if so, check the FAQ page on the patcher-developer's website located at www.syssel.net/hoefs/software_… to further troubleshoot your issue. And yes, I said "Ultra UX Theme Patcher", not the potentially outdated patcher linked on this theme's post. Thank you for this classic theme

Also, for those who do want to buy StartIsBack to further customize Windows, check out Open-Shell github.com/Open-Shell/Open-She… as it provides the same functionality (start button and taskbar skinning) but for free. You will need to acquire the taskbar skin and start button from another source because the StartIsBack skin files are incompatible with Open-Shell.

Wow, thank you for the tips!

This also applies to Aero Glass 10, right?

Megahaosguy Featured By Owner Aug 9, 2018

I haven't tested Aero Glass 10, but assuming its last update was around a similar time as this theme's (i.e. updated for the Windows 10 "Anniversary Update") then it should work fine. If you are very concerned then you can create a restore point in Windows and return to that point via Safe Mode if problems do occur. Sagorpirbd's themes seem to have stood the test of time thus far

RicardoSanchez123 Featured By Owner Jun 23, 2018

if this theme works in Windows 10 1709?

sagorpirbd Featured By Owner Jul 31, 2018 Professional Interface Designer

YES! works fine.

suomi24 Featured By Owner Jul 7, 2018

yes and so far it seems to work fine with the 1803 spring 2018 update too.

you just need to use oldnewexplorer and also ribbon disabler to get the same look as in the picture.

just remember that there isn't stable glass8 for the 1803 yet, so you need to either go on without it (for now) or use the beta version that has that forced cmd command console open and glass8 watermark on the desktop.

you can however hide the debug console on to the second virtual desktop, then you wont even know that it is on.

TheGoku7729 Featured By Owner May 10, 2018 Hobbyist General Artist

Wait, how come the titlebar buttons actually look like their original versions? Usually they're stretched on Windows 10

TheGoku7729 Featured By Owner Jun 6, 2018 Hobbyist General Artist

Wait
This is just windows 8 in the screenshot

Envisaged0ne Featured By Owner Jun 9, 2018

You can make the buttons look closer to the original Windows Vista size. Download Winaero Tweaker (link below). After you run the app, go to Advanced Appearance Settings & click on Window Title Bars. Then lower the Window Title Bar Height. I personally set it to 12 & that looks about accurate to me. I'm running the latest Windows update (1803)

iakpan7 Featured By Owner Edited Jul 15, 2018

I use 1709 version, I tried what u said, I set it 12 and all three buttons have the same size and all are small.. is it possible to have the close button bigger than minimize and maximize buttons as vista and 7 have and like in these pictures? if you know how to do that tell me your advice.. thank you

iakpan7 Featured By Owner Jul 19, 2018

Sagorpirbd, can you help with that? thank you

Envisaged0ne Featured By Owner Mar 14, 2018

Ok, I found out how to get this to work on Windows 10 1709. Of course, make sure you're using the latest UxThemePatcher v.3.3.1. Also make sure you use AeroGlass v.1.5.8 & of course, that you're running OldNewExplorer. You ALSO have to download a program called Ribbon Disabler, created by WinAero (link below). Once you've got everything setup, make sure to run Ribbon Disabler, then log off & back on. Then the theme should work perfectly for you

Can someone help me download this? I try using the download button in the sidebar but it just brings me to the deviantart 404 page. Thanks!

Nevermind, I fixed it by searching for it in the search bar.

can you make this a registry tweak for creators update?

vStone1K Featured By Owner Edited Oct 6, 2017

Hi, I am having an issue getting this Vista theme and your other Windows 7 theme to work under Windows 10 Creators Update. I have patched using the latest UltraUxthemePatcher, and purchased StartIsBack in addition to Glass8 (which works fine now by the way). I will attach a picture, as you can see the top window doesn't appear to change; it stays as the default Windows 10 look with the aero effect applied. Might you know how to fix this? Very much appreciated!!

Thanks!

EDIT: I accidentally installed Aero glass theme during Glass8 installation. Reinstalling it and unticking this option fixed the problem, and the windows appear as they should.

bangkok1205dangerous Featured By Owner Oct 4, 2017

Hey man, super excellent theme. Is there any way to edit it so that startisback will use the Windows 7 buttons and userframe? Just so that it'll be a little closer to the way Vista actually looked. Thanks!

Serena-Altheia Featured By Owner Sep 7, 2017

Hi! I faved it! And thanks for your amazing job! You just beat windows!

I don't succeed to have the bar on the bottom of the pictures like the one in your preview. (I mean where is the battery, The Internet icons and so forth) If you have any tips to complete the process

thanks you anyway!

T-ux Featured By Owner Aug 28, 2017

Your themes never cease to amaze me. Sad that you can't have the titlebar buttons to be exactly like Vista's(size, etc). Overall you did a good job

sagorpirbd Featured By Owner Sep 4, 2017 Professional Interface Designer

That's the limitation of windows 10 and you have to live with it!

T-ux Featured By Owner Sep 5, 2017

Alas, alas

I've kinda modified the windowmetrics settings to tune the titlebar buttons size, so it's kinda ok. Now if only to somehow make the close/min/max to have the exact width like in vista + tune up the margins of it.

T-ux Featured By Owner Nov 4, 2017

Forgot to even show it how it looks like

SarahJameshere Featured By Owner Jul 9, 2017

Thank you SO much! I still have my main PC with Vista and my other PC I've got WinX on it now and I hated it so much! But it is starting to look a lot like Vista. YAY!!!
Some problems though - taskbar and startmenu look good, but the startmenu has a square profile picture if I choose the win7 theme, but it turns round when I choose the Vista theme. I prefer the square one. Is there a way to get both the Vista taskbarstyle ánd the win7 profile picture?
I'll add pictures when I've found out how - not commented on DA before

Also my explorer doesn't have the nice rounded look of Vista I see in so many screenshots, but like a transparent winX.
I have installed NewOldExplorer (and I've read all the comments before posting LOL), so I'm a bit at a loss.

Doesn't work at all on Creators Update

Will this be updated for the creator's update?

sagorpirbd Featured By Owner Apr 26, 2017 Professional Interface Designer

SURE! why not but need time.

suomi24 Featured By Owner Apr 26, 2017

i have been using this theme on my creators update since day one, you just need to use that anniversary one in the pack otherwice there might be problems.

sagorpirbd Featured By Owner Apr 29, 2017 Professional Interface Designer

You mean anniversary update version (Build 14393) themes works fine in creators update ?

suomi24 Featured By Owner Apr 29, 2017

At least your Vista and Windows 7 themes seems to be working fine in my computer with the creators update installed.

Could I ask if you could made version of this theme, that had the default dark color in the win + X menu.

I get that that color is changed because you wanted to make it look close as possible to the windows vista, but if you could made separate theme file that had the default windows 10 color in the win +X and the Taskbar menu.

sagorpirbd Featured By Owner May 1, 2017 Professional Interface Designer

What do you mean by -->> win + X menu ???

suomi24 Featured By Owner Edited May 1, 2017

1drv.ms/i/s!AvZMCSY-sx7Usl53PJ…
This menu that opens either by rightclicking start button or by pressing windows key + letter X.
that menu is dark in the default windows 10 theme.
could you possiply restore that in this and on that windows 7 theme too, not by replacing this current theme as i understand that this is more on that "let's make this look 100% like windows vista did", but if you could add that as a separate file inside this theme pack it would be awesome.

Nice but where is explorer window ?

XReunion160 Featured By Owner Apr 14, 2017

just updated with explorer window

sagorpirbd Featured By Owner Apr 15, 2017 Professional Interface Designer

Looks fine just waiting updated "Aero Glass" compatible with creators update.

By the way, thanks for the fav :happybounce:

sagorpirbd Featured By Owner Apr 16, 2017 Professional Interface Designer

No problem. :D (Big Grin)

XReunion160 Featured By Owner Apr 15, 2017

Me, too

XReunion160 Featured By Owner Apr 14, 2017

Well, I didn't modify the explorer windows, although I could have done, with OldNewExplorer, but I didn't want to, so there would not be anything special, except of your window frames, of course^^. Maybe I'll reupload a screenshot with Explorer Window^^.

sagorpirbd Featured By Owner Apr 16, 2017 Professional Interface Designer

suomi24 Featured By Owner Apr 13, 2017

could you make it so that those win + X and other similar panels where back in their original darker color.
i understand that this is aiming to be close as vista and that windows 7 theme is aiming to be 100% like windows 7, however if it isn't too much to ask to have optional "dark" version too.

also this and that windows 7 theme seems to work fine on creators update too.
