Back to the future with NEW windows 7 macosX style theme 2018.

No more windows 10 , back to the future and the beauty of windows 7. (referring for windows Microsoft's systems)

If someone could made an application like oldnewexplorer [that work to 8 and 10] to windows 7, so any theme could save  system dll parameters code and executable to the  shellstyle.dll then windows 7 would be near perfect system, so any theme could applied with its personalized system's files code, a thing that can not happen now,  we can only change system files (and their code) but this apply affect to any other theme.
That means  , that as is now  if a theme needs some parameters for working and looking good some other, will not need them, so any change of the system files needed for my theme probably are not suitable for someother theme, that does not mean that the other theme will not work, it will work but not as beauty as it designed.For example to my theme  I have blue mouse over image and white text when in icon mode we select a file, to microsoft aero a black text and light blue image over it appear, or to details mode and content mode stripes appear to my theme but not to microsoft's aero etc.

For now the most stable system that this can happen is windows 8.1, but anyway I returned to Windows 7, with a new theme, with transparent start menu, and transparent jump list, to aero mode, and I re written most of the code again, so the system looking parameters behaving as to macosx, for example having separate image for the selected folder and separate for the selected text.

The transparent menu, need a modification to the search area of the search, so when we mouse press for writing a text for search, a black hole appear and white text.

To some windows like control panel when we select it , sometimes, the windows search automatically selected, so the black hole appears, for close it, just do a left clik to the address bar and a second to the desktop.
This coming of behavior become because of the code limitation, for having the transparent start menu (no 3rd party applications needed, just the theme parameters changing, same also for the jump list transparency).
RK_Launcher_04_Beta at the bottom with new dock style I made.

So I have made  different theme and system files code suitable for 100% SMALLER default size at  Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Display
and another different theme and system files code suitable for 125% MEDIUM default size at  Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Display

That because the stripes need different parameters code to work properly to any dpi version.

I also have made a third theme with no transparent start menu, No  stripes, so it will work in any dpi mode with  any of my system files. To this theme I use lighter blue mouse over text  colors.

So this all, is a macosx style inspired work, under my personal view and design and code I made, not a copy of macosx, ios etc. 
I will upload those when I will find free time, but remember as the policy of deviant art the latest years is not enabling uploading system files to deviant art, it's possible to upload the system files to some other place.
'Officially' to deviant Art I make themes from 2006.  

MADE IN GREECE, January 2018.

Please make an all transparent version for 8.1 I have many full transparent themes but none is as "flat" and as "clear" like yours.

Also, your choice of icons on caption/explorer frame is magnificent.

I will force you to do this even if I've to come personally to your home in Greece to persuade you.
