Hello, will the metro applications still work after killing DWM.exe?

I would like to kill DWM to get windows vista style but I don't know what problems may arise after that.

No, Metro apps will not work. Unfortunately.

That's what BasicThemer2 is all about (getting the basic theme without killing DWM). The problem is that the developer does not seem inclined at the moment to solve the issue (I do not receive an answer)

This is a transparency issue. anixx wrote some AHK scripts to fix some of this, but I think some of them are not good for the Basic theme, because it removes the rounded corners. I need to find the "good" AHK script.

Alcatel: there's SCT branding scattered around the system I guess Mar 23, 2023 19:20:18 GMT -8

bran: SCT contains quite a few dialogs that open on startup. There might be a way to disable them but I still don't like all that baggage running at startup Mar 24, 2023 4:01:33 GMT -8

R.O.B.: Windows 12 may raise system hardware requirements. I guess Windows 11's requirements were just not high enough somehow. Mar 29, 2023 9:30:14 GMT -8

The Jackal: I'm still getting used to the fact there is a W11. Is W12 really a def thing? If they are just going to release new versions of Winodws every two years now (11>12>13 ect) why not just drop the numbering and just call it Windows? Mar 29, 2023 10:34:34 GMT -8

TechSalt: On the topic of Windows 12, Windows 12 will require 8 GB of RAM (probably fake requirements tho) Mar 30, 2023 10:33:05 GMT -8

TechSalt: Might become a really bloated release Mar 30, 2023 10:33:22 GMT -8
