Windows EXPERIENCE | Freestyle Update
Your way in Re-Experiencing the Best of the Digital Age!
Please note that this mod is very well complete and this may be the last update this mod will get. Unless there are new discoveries in making Windows 10 more faithful to Windows XP, the mod is done as of now.
Mirror of Notes.rtf:
This document is here to discuss what is brand new on this and to point out issues that you should be aware off.
Please Read!
I will ignore you if you point out any of the issues that are listed on this, you should've read this file before complaining. I also have
every right in refusing to add anything you suggest. It's my mod, and I can do whatever I want to it.

What's New?
⦁ Zune & Embedded are here to complete the collection! To change themes, go to "Change Luna Theme" on the Control Panel, if you do not see it, enable Large/Small Icons view. Or, run Set-Theme.bat.
⦁ ALOT more icons are changed, making the mod feel more consistent in icons. You should see not much Windows 10 or Vista/7/8 icons using the mod.
⦁ Minor things that make Windows Experience more faithful to Windows XP.
Issues
⦁ Changing from Luna to any other theme may cause the screen to be black and kick the user out of the desktop. Go through the process of changing themes and it will apply. This also fixes broken Window Metrics from the aftermath.
⦁ The program that is used to force the Basic (Non-DWM) Window Borders is broken when installing this mod with any language but en-US.
⦁ The Appearance tab on Display Properties crashes the applet, use "Change Luna Theme" on the Control Panel to change themes.
⦁ Inactive Caption Text color is inaccurate, this has something to do with Windows 10.
⦁ Dialogs, Strings, and Menus will be unmodified if you use any language other than en-US.
⦁ Any DPI above 100% will be broken. This mod is incompatible with ANY type of DPI scaling.
⦁ File Explorer's toolbars may look messed up when it's opened when it's maximized by default.
⦁ Tray area of the taskbar will be broken when showing all tray icons.
⦁ Volume system tray may not change the volume. This depends on your sound configuration and the Sound Devices.
⦁ Some of the menus on File Explorer will not work (ex. "Favorites", "Help"). These are only here for the sake of accuracy and being faithful to Windows XP.
⦁ On-Screen Keyboard will show a QWERTY + CJK layout.
⦁ Internet & E-mail may look wrong on Royale/Royale Noir & Zune/Embedded, this can be fixed by adding one black character (?) when renaming each of them.
⦁ All themes other than Luna have incorrect DWM Window Frames. This will be noticeable when a program is not responding, running a program as SYSTEM or Trusted Installer, and the small delay forcing the Non-DWM (Basic) Window Frames.
⦁ Windows Messenger does not work. This is due to Microsoft shutting down the servers. If you feel so in using it, look for trusted services that hosts servers for MSN/Windows Live Messenger. I personally recommend in using Escargot (You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now.). Though be cautious on using these outdated services, even if they're secure.
Please understand these issues and enjoy Windows Experience!
