This is the look and feel I want for Windows 10: link removed by Admin

I only need this look and feel for programs I install and for Windows accessory programs like paint, calculator, wordpad, notepad, etc.  None of the Windows apps need to have this look and feel and my understanding is I can exclude those by excluding applicationframehost.exe   I don't need to change the taskbar either as I have Classic Shell for that.

My questions are: is this look and feel possible?; will WindowBlinds conflict with Classic Shell?; and what will Windows updates do to WindowBlinds, if anything?

I'm currently running Windows 10 Pro, version 1909.

Hello,

You can always do the 30 day trial to check if what you want can be done. From what I know there are few WB Theme that look similar to your screenshot. With a different color theme. Those colors can be change via Skinstudio. With regards with Classic Shell, I don't use it so I don't know if there will be conflict. But, I know, Stardock Start10 or Start11 work with WB on Windows 10.

Here a sample what I see on my Windows 10 system with Start11.

Thank you,

Basj,

Thank you for responding this quickly and I see that SkinStudio comes with no extra charge.  However, what will Windows updates do to WindowBlinds, if anything?  Also, my understanding is Stardock releases upgrades every few months or so.  If I've bought the program, what happens to the existing license I have when an upgrade is released?

Windows update rarely does anything detrimental to WindowBlinds & if it does it's usually fixed fairly quickly. As for the "upgrades", they don't upgrade it every few months rather than release updates which will do nothing to your license, the only time that will be an issue is when they release WindowBlinds 11 whenever they get around to that.

Also, I use Open-Shell & have no current issues.

Quoting Jafo,

xode0000 Your image was removed as it had account info and email....

I've since replaced it with something more innocuous.  Is it possible to restore that link?

Also, how do I get rid of this?: http://techccu.com/users/compwiz/pictures/stardock/untitled.JPG which is hampering my ability to post even here in this thread.

The following is the Win10 look and feel I have so far: http://techccu.com/users/compwiz/pictures/stardock/untitled2.JPG

It's most of what I want.  The changes I want to make are shown in the picture I've linked to.  I made changes using SkinStudio but those aren't showing up in the skin.  I looked at the documentation for SkinStudio at https://www.stardock.com/products/skinstudio/help/changing_titlebars_and_borders.htm and at other pages.  Is there a PDF download of that documentation so I can use it offline?

Alternatively, are the changes I want simple enough that those can be posted here and I can just copy them to my Win10 installation?
