Windows 10: UXStyle v 0.2.4.2 on Build 10166

Well, I took the 'crap shoot' and uninstalled UXStyle with no (so far) problems. Of course, I Macrium'd first. The last thing about Windows 10 that I dislike is the inability to have dark (back, preferably) title bars with white text! Maybe Microsoft will add that ability in a future update.

 

it installed for me with no problems; where is the "theme" folder to place themes in?

thanks!

 

C:\Windows\Resources\Themes

 

thank you Cliff!
Google was my friend too!*Party

 

You're welcome. Just remember when you get any updates other than for Defender, before rebooting, switch to a default windows theme(Hero is good), then reboot so the update installs, then just click your theme to turn it back on. You do not have to uninstall UXStyles, just switch themes, and you'll be ok.

 

what happens if you forget to switch themes before rebooting?
also, do you have to switch themes to reboot at any time, or only after an update?

thanks

 

Just after an update that requires rebooting, specially those that have to do with IE(cumulative updates). If you forget to switch, nothing bad may happen, it's just a precaution because UXStyles may get in the way of the update installing.

Edit: Usually along with any theme pack, the Dev who created it will have warnings & important notices with it.
I'm not an expert on the subject, but I do use it if you look inShow Us Your Desktop here are some of the themes and icon packs I have used in Win10... In reliability history and Event Viewer you will probably see more errors, but they won't affect your use of the PC depending on what you use the system for, and are nothing to worry about, it's just that windows wanted to do something and couldn't the first time and had to retry.

 

ok, hopefully I remember!
I assume there will be at least one more OS update before the 29th, so I assume this will all get overwritten after I install the update anyways, buts its nice until then!
Hopefully window blinds/stardock suite will be updated for win 10 shortly after its official..

 

To each their own but that's really not your answer either, Windows Blinds is nothing but a resource eating piece of bloatware.

I run third party themes exclusively and have never ran third party software that makes my themes run, IMO if your going to do it, do it cleanly. Non of the themes I run use any resources whatsoever, whether it be the theme itself or the resources needed to run them like third party software such as Winstep or Window Blinds because there is absolutely no need for it.
