    How can I use the actual Win 8 theme on Windows 10?


    Hi!

    I have backed up the 8 theme folders. Though looking at quickly at the .theme files they reference folders/files that win 10 has for its themes...
    Can I use them anyway somehow, without messing up the win 10 theme? (And potentially ending up with a mess and broken UI)

    Or did anyone export the win 8 theme for use with 10 as it is, without modifying anything of features?

    :)

    Can I use the actual theme of win 8 on win 10?

    Hi!

    I much preferred the 8 theme. Multiple reasons:
    • Better picked colors for the desktop background
    • more pleasant looking taskbar with high transparency, which blended in better with the rest of the theme. Win10's is just off-color and smudgy looking.
    • Centered titlebar text.

    Alternatively: is there a theme that recreated the 8 look perfectly?

    DTS supported natively by Windows 8/8.1 and it should work on windows 10 too just DDL require to unlock your driver .

    Win-10 themes keep changing

    Hi,

    Thank you for providing the information.

    • Did you try the steps suggested by Suvarna Govinda above, what was the result?
    As I understand the issue, Themes in Windows doesn't have the options to change on its own. Only the Wallpapers in the themes can change as selected ( Picture, Solid color and Slide Show ).

    I would suggest you to make us understand that if the Wallpapers are changing in Theme which you have selected.

    Below are the steps you can check if it helps.

    • Press Windows + I keys and select Personalization.
    • Select Theme and select the Default theme.
    • Select the Desktop Background below and select the Picture
      and save it and check.
    Please post us back if the issue resolves. We are glad to help you.
