Noob, here, I see lots of cool things in this forum and want to learn how to do these. Is there a thread somewhere that explains how to get started or at least something explaining DWM? Or maybe an FAQ, sorry if this isn't the right place to ask DWM (Desktop Window Manager) is responsible for outputting the desktop onto the screen since Windows Vista (with Aero enabled). It is used exclusively since Windows 8.
It's implemented in Direct3D, unlike the underlying window manager, and its main goal is actually just to composite complete window framebuffers onto the screen (rather than simply drawing back to front). This allows them to have thumbnail previews of windows, as well as fixes the smearing effect unresponsive applications would have with the old system.
DWM is responsible for drawing the window frames for most windows as well, which previously were part of the windows themselves in the old system; this is a major reason why patching DWM is required to change things about the window frames.
Note that the old system isn't exactly gone at all. It's still used for displaying child windows, even when DWM is active. You can see this most easily in MDI applications like WinRAR. DWM only composites top-level windows.

I think this is WOW64 redirection. Because Resource Hacker is a 32-bit application, you cannot directly access files in System32 (they will be redirected to SysWOW64). You can copy the file to a different directory to open it in Resource Hacker, or use this Windhawk mod: windhawk.net/mods/lm-ppee-wow64. |

Is this a newer version of windows 10? I don't know much about the technical details, but I know on newer version of windows, system resources are stored in .mun files |

Hello, can someone make a dark color scheme of Embedded for me? Preferably Black in colour, and optionally with black buttons.

Why does the underlined icons still use their windows 10 counterparts? I use the aero 10 theme but I'm not sure if it's an issue with that or something else  |

Try using a 7tsp icon pack that patches ExplorerFrame and shell32 to get a Windows 7 look |

Does windhawk work with windows 7? I believe so, though I'm pretty sure most mods would need to be written with Windows 7 compatibility in mind. The very few I have tested don't seem to work well (if at all). |

Like shell32.dll? anyway if you change one byte in a signed file it will break the signature, you can restore the signature with an application, the good thing is on windows 10 files like shell32.dll are now .mun files like shell32.dll.mun and are not signed |
