Win 10 3rd Party Visual Style Themes w/ UXStyles or Ultra UX Patcher
I read somewhere that Visual Styles themes made for Win 8.1 will work on Win 10 using either the patch UXstyles (which works by retaining settings in memory) or "Ultra UX Theme Patcher" (which physically changes/replaces certain system files but allows you to restore original files.)
Has anybody tried changing themes in Win 10 Insider Preview to test to what degree themes made for Win 8.1 work?
My understanding is that once you apply the patch either uxstyles OR Ultra Theme Patcher you place the new theme in the theme/resource folder ,reboot, and then just go back to the system preferences and choose your theme.
the only warning that I know is that if you choose to uninstall uxstyles or ultra ux theme patcher is that you choose first a standard Win 8 or Win 10 native theme from the WinOS then reboot and, then you uninstall otherwise on reboot the system will become confuse and might endup with a black screen
here are some themes from Deviantart
