I have ported over the preset Windows Classic themes from Windows 2000/XP over to Windows7. Everything is there from Brick to Wheat, and even the slightly altered Windows Classic theme (here, it is known as Windows Standard. In 2k and XP, it was known as Windows Classic, and was select-able alongside Windows Standard, which got renamed to Windows Classic in Vista and 7). There are also a few new themes that I created specially for this release that are not found in 2000/XP. They are; Nightlight, a theme that gives your computer a Windows 10 nightlight feel, Nighttime, a theme inspired by the night sky, the moon, and the stars, Sunny day, a theme inspired by a sunny day, sunset, a theme inspired by a sunset, and John Deere, a theme inspired by tractors.

Consider this an early Thanksgiving/Christmas present. To use these, just extract them using your favorite archiver such as Winrar or 7-Zip to the «C:\Windows\Resources\Ease of Access Themes» folder without quotes. Once done, just right click the desktop, click personalization, and scroll down to Basic and High Contrast Themes and they should all be there alongside the existing ones. Here’s some photos showing off the new themes I made along with the link to download the themes.

Here’s some feedback:
Nightlight and John Deere don’t have gradient titlebars, which looks a bit odd compared to the others.
For John Deere, you could use #009900, and for Nightlight, you could use #CC9900. (as the second colours)
But overall, great job!

You could try doing 1.0, 2.0, and the 3.x colour schemes, including the 3.0-exclusive themes along with the default themes.3.0 uses a slightly different colour scheme from 3.1

On my 3.1 install, I normally use Emerald City.
And, if a person who wore monochrome glasses (if those exist) saw Hotdog stand, it would result it looking quite normal:

I don’t think one would need to do that to make the user interface look more nice, IMO. Some people might want the icons to be the perfect size for better viewing. But that’s just my perspective…

The themes in fact do work in Windows 2000, as they are applied nicely via the semi-hidden themes.exe.

That themes.exe is in fact the same one from Plus! 98.

So these are not just for Windows 7; Vista/XP/2000/Me/98 should work as well! Maybe even on Windows 95 with Plus! applied, as the theme «engine» is identical to the one from Plus! 98, except for the lack of a monthly theme rotation option.

What is the name of the application software guaranteed to make your computer faster?

Quicken.

Tested on Windows 8/10 with or without the Classic Theme already applied?
