I know you can just do "shell:libraries" but I mean this  That little thing with green text is missing. I wonder if it is possible to modify something to get this back, or if it would be near-impossible |

Library headers were a really cool addition. It really made those folders feel different from the others.

I wonder if it is possible to modify something to get this back, or if it would be near-impossible if someone found a way to get this and the 7 logon screen and boot animation, then windows 10 can be transformed to fully look like windows 7 (Edit: forgot to mention windows cardspace and parental controls, i know they are not important, but still a good addition) |

It'd still be a super cool thing. |

Since someone gave the Windows 7 bootloader a valid Secure Boot signature, we could put this in Windows 10 or 11. But I think there are compatibility issues... But if we solve them too, it's basically a complete bootscreen. |

It is normally the vista boot screen,a fallback in case something happened to the new one,still kept in modern windows. But you can edit its resources to replace every image with its XP version so it looks like the XP one. |

But it will only work on BIOS systems, because the 2000-Vista bootscreen engine requires BIOS interrupts. Nothing will render on a modern UEFI system. |

From what I can tell, it's only a partial implementation to allow Windows 7 to boot at all, and not good enough to facilitate graphical output. |

But there is one here that has a FULLY working GUI. Only bug is that depending on a system it decides a side or size it wants to be, but it does display a full graphical output since I tested it on a UEFI class 3 system. Here it is: github.com/manatails/uefiseven/issues/37 |
