Complete Windows 7 theme for Windows XP?


Recommended Posts

Hey

I use VMWare Workstation 7's Unity mode because I have a application that is not compatible with Windows 7 and I dont have Windows XP Mode. Id like a theme that makes Windows XP look exactly like Windows 7 with a transparent Window title bar, taskbar, etc so when in Unity, it looks as native as posssible.

Even though I get this theme, I might see the title bar transparent but actually see the VM instead of my host machine but oh well....

Thank you very much :)

well you wont be able to get full transparency native in XP as the theming engine does not support it. You will need WindowBlinds for that. If you just want a Windows 7 theme I am sure there are some floating around on the forum here or on places like deviantart.

Understood :) I guess I will install WindowBlinds.

I was asking for a recommened theme that most looks like the Windows 7 RTM theme (if I cant change the color like in 7, oh well....)

I simply do not understand (I dont mean to be rude) why instead of saying things like "If you just want a Windows 7 theme I am sure there are some floating around on the forum here or on places like deviantart." and " there are themes on Neowin that look alot like full blown 7. ", everyone just doesnt post "Use Google". It would be the same thing...

Im asking for a specific name please :) A good reply would be a link or "serach for windows7rtmthemeforwxpnamehere made by authorofthethemehere. It looks pretty much exactly alike"

First, thank you for posting a name AND a link :)

Second, I remember that this is the new version of XP or Vista transformation back for 98/XP. I didnt go too well but Ill try it out again and see how it goes.

Thanks alot :)

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!
    • Same, never saw it on Android or iOS. Guess only some people got it *shrugs*
    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
