Use one of those UxTheme.dll patcher tools that allows you to install 3rd party themes and hope you find one that works with the latest build of Windows 10, because that’s also an issue now, whereas with previous versions of Windows such as 7, Vista, XP, it wasn’t. Use WindowBlinds with a Windows 7 themeĢ.

Even StartIsBack++ has a Windows 7 theme for the Start Menu and taskbar, but the only ways I know to change the title bars are:ġ. That’s cool and I would like to use it, but it really bothers me that there aren’t tools that change the title bars of Windows 10. I think Windows XP Blue's taskbar, start menu and tray still looks the best. On the other hand, notifications work fine. And, if you're using custom toolbars like the Everything Toolbar, you can't access any of those.

The fly out menu (right-click menu) for taskbar icons, and task preview are not available either. You can't access the Action Center or use the Show Desktop button. RetroBar hides nearly all options of the Taskbar's context menu, which makes it a bit inconvenient to use. Look at the first screenshot above and the one below from Windows 10, and you'll see what I'm talking about. RetroBar does not support this, and as a result your taskbar could get cluttered really quickly. Windows 10 avoids creating labels on the task bar for programs that are running, it uses icons. However, the default icon size on the taskbar is way too small, the program needs to offer a way to resize them. Windows 10's tray icons (Wi-Fi, speaker, battery, etc.) appear too thin and faint, but we can't really blame the tool for that.
