SecureUxTheme VS SimpleClassicTheme

None of it is user friendly, but if you can follow directions you can be up and running in 30 minutes. I recommend SecureUxTheme which patches the necessary files in memory.

The last discussion of dark theme in this sub was like 6-7 years ago, so I wonder if anyone use it now. I found two option for the installer 1. SecureUXTheme and 2. UltraUXThemePatcher, but for the theme it self I haven't found what I'm looking for which is dark and minimal theme.

Instead of UXThemePatcher, you should use SecureUXTheme.

Hard to explain, been happening since today after I installed a few apps, namely Ear Trumpet from Microsoft Store, tried installing and using WindowBlinds from a YouTube QoL recommendations video here and here but uninstalled after it didn't work, as well as Black In Black / BIB here + UltraUXThemePatcher + SecureUXTheme to try and get BIB to work (which it didn't), and finally Twinkle Tray to adjust desktop brightness like you can on laptops. My best guess is the WindowBlinds app fucking something up, or Twinkle Tray turning off my screen when it goes to black mode, seemingly coming back on when I press my keyboard or mouse, and then freezing and accepting no responses.

Better off using SecureUXTheme.

Incidentally, I use said SecureUxTheme patcher to solve this problem: https://github.com/namazso/SecureUxTheme.

Look for SecureUXTheme, which is compatible with secure boot.

I'm using the taskbar that is included with SImpleClassicTheme: https://github.com/AEAEAEAE4343/SimpleClassicTheme, but you can do pretty much the same with Retrobar.

The classic theme can be enabled with SimpleClassicTheme: https://github.com/WinClassic/SimpleClassicTheme

You can actually-- and not just the background either. There's a whole community dedicated to keeping the old visual design. I found a program that automate the setup for the old theme on windows 10: https://github.com/WinClassic/SimpleClassicTheme/releases/tag/1.6.0.3

SimpleClassicTheme gives you the classic theme back

I installed SimpleClassicTheme (https://github.com/WinClassic/SimpleClassicTheme) on my computer (the nostalgia got me to do it), but since it kinda broke my context menus and all, I uninstalled it. But ever since then, the login (or Welcome) screen and Ctrl+Alt+Del screen got stuck on default accent color, as if it has it's own theme applied. It even disables the high contrast theme if I enter and exit the Ctrl+Alt+Del menu.

Simple Classic Theme

Additionally, you can use Simple classic theme to get the classic theme back in Win10: https://i.imgur.com/HSfMWhE.png
