Is there any way to fix alt-tab previews here?
You cant have previews with basic theme. Actually, it is possible, since thumbnails are controlled by DWM. BasicThemer5 just disables thumbnails as well as DWM window frames. Most other implementations only disable the frames, so thumbnails in the Alt+Tab view will continue to work.

(Original & others) by pushing it on the c:\windows\ressources\ BasicThemer is unrelated to this. It simply disables the DWM window frames on every window, which makes the window borders look like how they do in Windows 7 or Windows PE. This may be preferable for customisation purposes because UxTheme draws them with dynamic size parameters from the user's theme, rather than a hardcoded, fixed size like DWM, but it's not a prerequisite. In fact, you need to do extra work regardless of whether or not you use it by patching the theme engine to accept unsigned themes.
I recommend SecureUxTheme for patching the theme engine.
Additionally, the theme files are somewhat fixed to a specific Windows version, but themes designed for Windows 10 work on almost every version of Windows 10. You can't just use, for example, a Windows 7 theme, on Windows 10 without explicitly porting it.

I don't use SecureUXTheme because it is not possible to use WinaeroThemeSwitcher (it is a 3rd party theme switcher). I find it easier to patch UXTheme.

Norton360 flags uxsms.exe as Trojan.GEN.MBT and Heur.AdvML.C but it's a fake alarm otherwise other people here would have reported already.
EDIT: No matter what kind of exclusion options I set for this program Norton always ends up removing it, extremely annoying antivirus. Could someone port this into windhawk please? I don't have coding knowledge to do so, it would be great if someone could do it.
