+  * [[https://winclassic.net/thread/2389/improved-force-thick-frames-mod|Force Thick Frames]]((:fn:>This one requires a bit of a footnote, but the code for a Windhawk mod is included in the thread. Create a new mod in Windhawk and copy/paste the code from the thread into it. Then compile the mod. And it'll all work fine.))((:fn:>An additional note: you //will// have to install Aero Window Manager. Though you can combine that with DWM Blur Glass.))
 These all restore the look to a certain degree...but now we're moving on to the first complication: [[https://windhawk.net/mods/win7-alttab-loader|Windows 7/8.x Alt+Tab Loader]]\\  This mod requires that you locate the AltTab.dll from a Windows 7 installation (or installation ISO). Follow the instructions on the mod. Oh, right, if you want it for any language besides English, then you'll have to locate the proper localization files. If you're wondering //where// it is in the Windows 7 installation ISO, well it's in sources/install.wim...but I won't help beyond that.\\  [[https://get-ntmu.github.io/|This]] link includes a few other things you can restore. Notably: classic User Account Control; Windows 7 Ease of Access Tools; Windows 7 Network Flyout; Windows 7 Tray Icons; Windows Games Explorer.\\  All include instructions. I recommend <abbr>UAC [User Account Control]</abbr> and the Network Flyout personally. Something to keep in mind is that UAC //can// break and, in the event that happens read [[https://winclassic.net/post/30356/thread|this]] and follow the instructions.((:fn:>To boot into safe mode, just look it up online.))\\  Next you'll want the [[https://winclassic.net/thread/2946/openwithex-classic-open-dialog|Classic Open With dialog]]...I consider it a must-have.\\  The last two things I'll note here is the [[https://github.com/Ben2557/LogonVistaOrb|Logon Vista Orb]] and [[https://winclassic.net/thread/2966/authux-fully-custom-logon-ui|AuthUX]]. Of those, the latter is also a must-have, while the former is entirely optional. The latter replaces the Windows 10 logon screen with the Windows 7 logon screen. I haven't experienced any issues with it, but you should still be somewhat careful.
