Windows eXPerience Freestyle 2023-02-11
Windows eXPerience Freestyle is an installation of Windows 10 (ISO) with an interface that looks like Windows XP (more than 20 years old, and loved and used by many people). because of the simplicity of Windows XP). It will carefully recreate the look and feel of Windows XP, what many consider to be the golden era of the Microsoft operating system. There's the old File Explorer, Task Manager, Control Panel, Start menu (still better in Windows 11), and Internet Explorer (just a remastered Mozilla Firefox). Even 3D Pinball and Paint are available.
For many people who love the interface of Windows XP, Windows eXPerience Freestyle is considered to be the most modern copy of Windows XP interface, and the best that no third-party application can achieve.
Issues (English):
Changing from Luna to any other theme may cause the screen to be black and kick the user out of the desktop. Go through the process of changing themes and it will apply. This also fixes broken WindowMetrics from the aftermath.
The program that is used to force the Basic (Non-DWM) Window Borders is broken when installing this mod with any language but en-US.
The Appearance tab on Display Properties crashes the applet, use "Change Luna Theme" on the Control Panel to change themes.
Inactive Caption Text color is inaccurate, this has something to do with Windows 10.
Dialogs, Strings, and Menus will be unmodified if you use any language other than en-US.
Any DPI above 100% will be broken. This mod is incompatible with ANY type of DPI scaling.
File Explorer's toolbars may look messed up when it's opened when it's maximized by default.
Tray area of the taskbar will be broken when showing all tray icons.
Volume system tray may not change the volume. This depends on your sound configuration and the Sound Devices.
Some of the menus on File Explorer will not work (ex. "Favorites", "Help"). These are only here for the sake of accuracy and being faithful to Windows XP.
On-Screen Keyboard will show a QWERTY + CJK layout.
Internet & E-mail may look wrong on Royale/Royale Noir & Zune/Embedded, this can be fixed by adding one black character (?) when renaming each of them.
All themes other than Luna have incorrect DWM Window Frames. This will be noticable when a program is not responsing, running a program as SYSTEM or TrustedInstaller, and the small delay forcing the Non-DWM (Basic) Window Frames.
Windows Messenger does not work. This is due to Microsoft shutting down the servers. If you feel so in using it, look for trusted services that hosts servers for MSN/Windows Live Messenger. I personally recommend in using Escargot (https://escargot.chat/). Though be cautious on using these outdated services, even if they're secure.
