How to Have a Lucky Set of Windows 7 Themes in Windows 10

In Windows 10, there’s a new default theme with white title bars. Many people miss the older looks of Windows 7. Here’s how you can bring the back and customize them. NOTE: It’s not perfect, but it’s enough to look good.

Windows Basic

First things first, you’ll need an AeroLite base theme to edit for Windows Basic. Another way you could do this is by downloading a Windows XP theme from BelchFire.net and using it as a base.

Now you’ll want to set the color coordinates around here:

Now you’ll go to the Personalization section in the Settings app and disable “Make Start, taskbar, and Action Center transparent”. And you’re all set with a Windows Basic Theme!

Windows Classic

For the Windows Classic theme, you’ll edit a High Contrast theme. Set the color coordinates to match with this:

Change to the proper mouse pointer and you have Windows Classic enabled!

Windows Aero

Switch to the Basic theme and, in the Settings app, change the desktop background and reflect the desktop color so that it looks like this:

Windows Default

All you need to do for this one is to choose the Windows theme and make it so that it’s transparent!

See? Really nothing to it.
