Title: Windows 10 Support and Info?
Post by: LiveOrDie on July 14, 2015, 09:38:00 am
Sorry to ask if its been covered but i haven't updated my theme since 8.1 and i need some info on how to do so and the best way to do so?

Should i start from scratch or is there a upgrade button i can use?
Has much changed from Windows 8.1 to 10 with the configuration of the msstyles?

Any other info i should know thanks .

Lots of stuff has changed.

Mainly in the taskbar. Backgrounds, buttons, flyouts, jump lists etc.

Some is different in the msstyle (don't expect everything to be in the usual place). Much isn't in the msstyle at all anymore. A lot of it is XAML now.

XAML is mostly in C:\Windows\SystemApps\ShellExperienceHost_cw5n1h2txyewy in dlls like JumpView, ClockFlyoutExperience etc which I don't know how to edit yet.

There's no import button or stylehack. You'll have to port 7 and 8 msstyles manually.

That's all I am fairly sure about. Maybe somebody else can tell you more.

Thanks for the info so all theme for 10 will be incomplete because of XAML change over?

unfortunately when i use a modded theme the Start icon is not showing, but i will wait the full release and then let the modding begin :D

I hate those dark jumplists and context menus. Should only be dark if you are using a dark theme.

Microsoft doesn't do consistency.
