Windows XP Suite (WIP)

Luna, Silver & Olive Styles for Windows 7,8 & 10

from WinCustomize Forums

Got enough done to show of a re-creation of the Windows XP theme for modern day systems, some XP elements had to be remade from scratch as they were way to small dpi wise and looked super blurry. Luna style is 100%, I am currently working on remaking the Silver and Olive elements(Might make other colors depending on feedback). Hope you like what I have done so far. Ps. I plan on modernizing it to more of 10's style as an alternate theme later on. :D

Thanks!  Royal is also now in, however because of the way the startmenu works, the jumplist on windows7/8 are not useable. Thats just a minor issue I dont plan on fixing as these are mainly designed for 10 XD

 

The taskbar text is supposed to be white, but when you enable light mode on windows 10 2004 version, it breaks the theming of those buttons. Hopefully stardock responds to my issue in the windowblinds support section.

This is what I normally looks like when you have dark mode enabled. Bottom pic is when I have light mode on.

Found a work around to my jumplist issue for some of the themes that use white text on right side of start menu.

Watercolor style added. In testing phase now before its ready to upload. Dont mind the double control panels in my start menu XD  It seems to be a bug in Start10 for 2004 build of Windows 10...  haha

That Whistler Watercolor theme would be grand with a blue taskbar

 

Might look into that now that I have it built.

Greeat! Lets hope they verify it soon-ish.
There are some skins that received updates that i've seen thousands of master skins release before it got updated, and that was a month ago (and i still think the skin isn't updated)

Segoe UI (default OS font) is also a good choice although that was first used in Vista.

Calibri is what i use on all my gedgets. very readable as well
