I have previously themed two Windows 10 installations (which have since been lost due to hard drive failures), but at the time either I was slightly more naive and/or the customization scene was not yet so developed as it is today. Now that I've managed to receive a new gaming PC, I might as well make it my own with the newer tools that are available.

I used several utilities and mods offered on this forum (mostly for CPL purposes and restoring non-Metro components), alongside SecureUxTheme, StartIsBack++ and OpenShell, and some other tweaks, to create the result.

Unfortunately, WindowBlinds is not very reliable for many reasons (notably, it breaks the window sizing of certain apps such as VLC), so I opted to stick on the latest version of Windows 10 which still supports Glass8. The "Mozilla Firefox" pictured is actually just Waterfox with modified icons.
