Think anyone would not realize its windows 10 ?
I still have a few bugs to fix but its a good 90% usable.
probably so deeply modified it'd be kicked by anti-cheats and break on updates by that point. also the start menu's still flat and you'd still have the issue of apps mandating light/dark themes to break this illusion.
also win95 didn't have caption gradients and the 16-color icon set with full color icons enabled.
updates worked fine, 10 no longer gets updates so even if it did not work it would not matter anymore.The core OS was harldy touched as its mostly a shell swap, dark/light mode is disabled with the shell swap so apps don't call it. Nothing of the windows 10 explorer shell is running. Its running a modified windows 2k explorer shell.
caption gradients was something I could not do much about as most of the underlining shell is windows 2k based, same goes for full color icons.
I had anther project like this years ago were I made a custom user shell with a full screen CMD on windows 7, I"m trying to find a screen shot of it but it was close to 10 years ago so I likely don't have it any more.
Don't you have to disable access to shared memory section dealing with theme in winlogon.exe to make it fallback to 2K style?
