Does this work on Windows 11? #20
Comments
You have to use ExplorerPatcher, almost all the specific problems of Windows 11 are solved with this tool : https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher |
It is great that you are evangelizing on behalf of ExplorerPatcher. It does fix several of the more common issues that Windows 11 has. It does not, however, fix any of the issues with attempting to run this theme, which was designed for Windows 10, on Windows 11. To be clear, ExplorerPatcher works wonderfully if you use actual classic mode (theme engine disabled / no theme). When trying to use a custom theme, such as the one we are discussing now, it is woefully inadequate. Windows 11 changes a lot of things which break compatibility with this theme, and ExplorerPatcher is not some panacea that makes everything work the way it's intended. As is, this theme is broken on Windows 11. I would advise anybody looking to use this theme to not upgrade to Windows 11, and anybody on Windows 11 should not use this theme. |

More generally, this has been the problem with Microsoft's modifications for some time: more and more elements have to be modified for good support of custom visual styles, because UWP/Fluent elements do not support take into account the visual style, which is based on Win32. But that's also what you have to do to get the real classic theme. And inevitably, this calls into question the main purpose of this theme; it comes from a time when applying a custom visual style was easier than applying the true classic theme. The boundary between the two risks continuing to shrink. |
Anyone try it? I might have to upgrade at least a few of my systems soon and I'm wondering if I can use this!
