sure, you use aero glass for windows rs3, along with it's uxtheme signature bypass dll (i use a 3rd party distribution) for glass and unsigned themes support. for the folder background, ave's folder background dll for vista still works in 1709, albeit needs some fiddling like disabling read only on any folder and keep this properties window open at all times- just hiding it with something like hideit for windows.
No system file modification required. Also I use oldnewexplorer by tihiy.
