Most lightweight basic themer yet. Just how lightweight is it? It uses 0% CPU (or <0.01%) in the background And it uses ~1% CPU with several windows being opened Compared with BasicThemer3 that uses 2-5% (with a reasonable number of windows open like <10) github.com/arukateru/BasicThemer5 |

How does one install this program? I have downloaded the uxsms.exe file from your github page.

I didn't even know there was BasicThemer4! Good job either way, looking forward to trying it.

# Your Awesome Mod
This is a place for useful information about your mod. Use it to describe the
mod, explain why it's useful, and add any other relevant details. You can use
[Markdown](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown) to add links and
**formatting** to the readme.
This short sample customizes Microsoft Paint by forcing it to use just a single
color, and by blocking file opening. To see the mod in action:
- Compile the mod with the button on the left or with Ctrl+B.
- Run Microsoft Paint from the start menu (type "Paint") or by running
mspaint.exe.
- Draw something and notice that the orange color is always used, regardless of
the color you pick.
- Try opening a file and notice that it's blocked.

Thank you.  If they change their mind and want this removed, that's perfectly fine; all you'll need to do is remove it from your post or they can ask a member of staff to do so. |

In BasicThemer2 you could blacklist programs that didn't work properly with Basic Theme. Since there is no longer a configuration window here, this list has also disappeared. Is there still a way to blacklist programs? Or alternatively, is there a reliable way to make programs compatible with this theme?

Sorry to bump this, but does this Windhawk port work for consent.exe? I tried many different approaches to set basic theme on the uac prompts but it all fails. I currently have uxsms running as TrustedInstaller and so far, only the uac is not basic-themed.

I currently have uxsms running as TrustedInstaller and so far, only the uac is not basic-themed. It doesn't seem like it would to me, but it would be possible to make one that works.
I also assume that the reason that other basic themers don't work with UAC is because they run on a "secure desktop" like the security options (CTRL+ALT+DEL) screen. Although it's pretty easy to interfere with these desktops, I doubt that their windows are just enumerable by the standard means used by basic themer observer programs.
The Windhawk script also is just a wrapper for something that registers a Windows shell hook, so I doubt it would any notification of window creation under these conditions, either.
Also, unless you disabled the XAML UAC dialog which is used now, then the titlebars will always render in a Windows 10 style, no matter what.

Simple, just run your basicthemer in the secure desktop. psexec -dsx is somehow broken recently so I used it in conjunction with gsudo: sudo -s psexec -dx %cd%\BasicThemer2.exe.

Thanks for the reply, but sadly this didn't work either for some reason. I also tried running it as --ti through gsudo (alongside -d -x) but it never applied the basic theme to the UAC (it runs and applies the theme to everything else though, it's even marked as SYSTEM or TrustedInstaller on the process list). I did enable the old UAC prompt through the registry tweak (as ephemeralViolette pointed out), I also use the ctrl+alt+del authentication method and that prompt is also not basic-themed. Is uxsms actually not compatible with the secure desktop, or am I just doing something wrong? This is all on version 1607 of Windows 10. |

Its working for me, just tested it with BasicThemer 2 and 5 on Windows 11 23H2. Maybe try just running cmd with sudo -s psexec -dx cmd and see if cmd shows in the secure desktop (may require alt tab.) Also try just running psexec -dsx cmd as admin, it worked on older Windows versions. If cmd works, try running basicthemer with the opened cmd.

You cant have previews with basic theme. |
