Let me know if it's another method, but that one does have all of the problems you describe, and it's the only one I know is not too drastic and actually works well. Such as running the same Win32 api commands as the clock runs, but on a windows 8 window?ĦsicSIX, do you think you just disabled DWM for the 2nd one? Just wondering.Īnyway, when you talked about a method for using the classic theme, I assume you're talking about this method:į ? View topic - Classic theme on Windows 8 Could we investigate this behaviour (seeing how it falls back to classic) and possibly use it to enable classic on other windows? I thought it was caused by running in compatibility mode but I can't recreate in now. Launched, then set to analogue, then double-click the clock area to remove the window decorations, then double-click again to restore the window decorations, it restores with classic theme instead (which is kinda weird becuase 3.51 didn't even have the classic theme engine.) Running Clock.exe from Windows 3.51 using different options gives me this: I have seen another less drastic method (taskbar is almost unusable, some programs that expect to be running on 8 have a weird transparent classic theme.Īnyway.With no mods on (other than HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics\PaddedBorderWidth 0) I have played around with disabling dwm, and created a few disk images that get around the lack of metro (AutoAdminLogon, PeNetwork, Task Manager from WinPE, auto kill security options on crtl-alt-del, restart explorer hotkey, classic shell, ribbon disabler, command bar disabler) but on a windows update / config change sometimes my modified files get replaced again But also you can try only modificate this files (themeui.dll and explorer.exe) by special programs. PS3: If you still want experiments on Windows files, you can try with explorer.exe too.
PS2: I have Windows 8 圆4, and because of that MPC x86 have on buttons another bright of grey, and MPC 圆4 normal bright of grey of WIN9x. I know it isn't clearly Windows 9x theme, but more we can't probably want from Windows 8. We need only run a THEMES.EXE application an choose "Others.", then click from a list of UNPACKED themes a last one: "Windows Default". Mozilla Firefox have nice grey theme at upside. But i runned a Max Payne, and there was a grey theme. Then i found this super mode for Windows 7: Windows 98 Plus For Windows 7 by AnsonSterling on deviantART - it's working on 8.1, but not perfectly at Windows 8 theme elements. It was hard - a lot of work with a safety settings. That's what I was tring to do: Firstable I've put to Windows 8 files a themeui.dll from 7, but it doesn't working, you can try by yourself (or maybe it was a fall of two diffrent langueges, in Windows7 in English, and in Windows 8.1 - by suprise - in Polish, both of systems was in this second language).
